Transmission Fluid change?
Sorry if any of you saw this twice. The post got removed so I dug up this old account to post instead cause the other was too new.
So I recently purchased a 2017 Nissan Altima from a private seller. I was wondering if I should do a transmission drain and fill? Google is giving very mixed answers and experiences from owners. I don’t mind buying from private sellers, but you never know what was done and what wasn’t. My state requires inspections when buying a car, and everything is fine with that so now i’m shifting my focus towards the transmission fluid, oil change, battery. It’s only got 78k miles. Transmission still seems pretty strong. It has this weird, very subtle jerk when coming to a stop but it’s not consistent.
Any thoughts? Better safe than sorry in my opinion but I’ve seen some say “don’t touch it if there’s nothing wrong with it.” but i’d rather not have it close to failing and THEN decide to do something about it.
