Manual Transmission Fluid Change at 55K… More Power???
Here’s the question…
Could new fluid help in putting down more power to the road? Lets discuss
Had the Trans fluid changed and not that I really feel a difference in the way the car drives but on two separate occasion I had the cars PSM kick in . . I also don’t believe there is anything wrong with the PSM as I drive hard all day long
1st time was when on the highway and in 2nd gear quick shift into 3rd I had the PSM kick in.
2nd time was 1st gear at 4700 RPM’s and floored it. I do have four wheel drive.
Now you can say there was sand or it was wet which it wasn’t. I can say I never have been able to get the PSM to kick in shifting from 2nd to 3rd.
So here is my unproven statement.
After the fluid change there is more torque applied to the road at higher RPM’s
