Automatic Gearbox Longevity

[IamMurdock]

Hi guys, i have a 2006 3.0si automatic with about 73k on the clock.

are there any known problems with the auto box and how long should i expect it to last? attempted to search the forum for this topic but couldnt see anything.

thanks!

quite a few of us have had the transmission fluid changed with noticeable improvement

My Z is nearly 13 years old and on 80k, I had the oil change done at 76k

If you want to help it last as long as possible then good old mechanical sympathy is needed. Change the oil now and aim for a 30k interval.
