T-tech the transmission

GM

I have my transmission T-tech'd every 30,000 miles. I use the fluid recommended by Ford. I have it done when I am in having my oil changed at the garage.

T-tech transmission

I forgot to add in my reply to you. My transmission lasted until 220,000 miles on my 2000 Lariat by doing this. I recently had to replace it.

I am on the northwest side of Indpls.

T-tech is a process where they hook up your transmission to a machine that exchanges the fluid in the transmission. The exchange is complete. I would recommend this over draining your transmission.
