Asked by T_E_D67 Aug 02, 2014 at 08:39 AM about the 2002 Toyota Highlander Base 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

160,000 miles. Was told I have metal shavings in my Transmission fluid, after that was disclosed at oil change I had my vehicle not go onto Over drive (once so far) The dealer told me to do the transmission service (flush and fill & check out) I heard that the Flush and fill at this many miles would/could cause transmission troubles to begin. What's your opinion?

Personally if my trans fluid looks and smells good with no shifting issues I don't fool with it. And if I do think I might have an issue I only do a fluid and filter change(not a flush) and add a can of CTC to new transmission fluid.

So the car not going into OD once shouldn't concern me? since it happened only once? What is the CTC?

CTC is an additive that you can find at car quest. It's rather old school but has many good uses.
