Hard shifts on cold mornings is typical, for any automatic. If you're unsure of the last time it was changed I would go ahead and change it then.

Sounds like yours isn't experiencing any issues, nothing wrong with changing the fluid. Just make sure you use the correct amount.

Please search next time.

HI
On another forum I was told that it's OK to change the fluid, but don't do a flush, e.g., change fluid 3X after driving around each time. Supposedly that loosens up stuff on the clutch packs and may cause slippage.

I have 155,000 miles on mine and am in the same situation. Maybe you should try it first and let me know :action-smiley-042:.
