To drain or not to drain
30

Asked by GuruXGHW8 May 02, 2019 at 06:57 PM about the 2005 Buick LeSabre Limited Sedan FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2005 buick lasabre that my grandma has
owned for 3 years. It has been shifting real hard
going into 2nd gear. And kicks real hard when you
go from reverse to drive. My grandma informed me
a few days ago she has had the car for 3 almost 4
years and has never had the transmisson flushed
and has never changed the filter and gasket. The
car now has 200,289 miles on it. Will it cause me
issues to change the filter since it has been so
long?

As long as it is still shifting I would change fluid and filter but that is just me. It may do more harm then good but is worth a try.

After checking the dipstick it's about a half a quart overfilled. So I think I'm gonna drain it and change the filter and see what happens
