Brown color of Automatic Transmission Fluid
I have a slight problem, dilemma. I checked my fluid level today on my auto tranny and it looked a little brown to me, not the pink/red it was when I put it in. Since I wasn't sure, I put some on a paper towel, and then next to it a drop or two of New out-of the bottle ATF. Sure enough, the stuff from the tranny IS brown in comparison with the from-the-bottle stuff. I have a transmission cooler that came stock with the car, and haven't abused the vehicle in any way. So I don't understand the color shift, since this vehicle only has about 13, 600 miles on it altogether. Question: Should I take this into dealer for warranty inspection or Should I just go ahead and change the fluid myself. Is there something -wrong- with the transmission that caused this to occur. This is a 2003 Vulcan 3.0 Liter with 13,600 original miles on it. Lg |
