[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3517384, member: 15054"] I always change fluid and filter in the transmission when I get a car. These front wheel drive vehicles get the trans fluid changed every other oil change or 6000 miles. Yes I change the oil every 3000 not 3100 it is 3000 or sooner and I use good synthetics every time. If I hear ticking during initial startup I change the brand of oil filter until I no longer get the ticking during start up. You would think WIX brand would be best but in my testing it is not. Now I get over 250,000 trouble free miles from all my stuff following those patterns. I will second the CVT issue. I have seen nothing but bad luck with those transmissions in the long run. My 1995 Corolla has over 346,000 miles on it now struts and CV axles are a wear item for me but I am hard on my stuff with loading it to the snubbers and the off roading. Filter and fluid change and go from there. [/QUOTE]
