How often do you drop your trans fluid?

[trashmechlv]

For those of you who beat on your cars at the track (and street for that matter). How often do you replace your trans fluid? Do you have a magic number of 1/4 mile passes when you drop the fluid? With a 200r4.

When it explodes. Last grenade was 2.5 years ago...pin is pulled.

I guess when it explodes it drops the fluid by itself. Lol. I was going to do filter and add a drain plug to the pan.

Get a remote filter kit for it. When you change the oil spin the tranny filter off and add a quart. It will filter better than the stock one and allows you to keep the fluid fresher without making a bunch of mess if you don't hit the drain pan.

Normally, it should be changed about every 20,000-24,000 miles or two years.  If you go to the track, I would suggest at least once a year.  If you have a high stall converter and are building a lot of boost at the line, I would suggest about every two trips if you are making a bunch of runs

In all seriousness... if you're gonna be beating on your junk at the track...then you should have a transmission temp gauge. You wouldn't believe how fast the trans temp rises when you put your car up against the footbrake...an d heat is the number one killer for a transmission. A separate trans cooler is never a bad idea.

When I ordered my converter from PTC The guy I spoke to (cant remember name) recommended the big 29000 gvw B&M trans supercooler so thats what I got. A temp gauge would be a good investment for sure.
