Am i in the early stages of need a new tranny? i have 70K mi. on the engine... little early for a tranny to be going isn't it? is there anything i can do to prolong this tranny? Should i take it to a tranny specialist... maybe they can adjust some of the belts or something?

me = idiot

Thanks guys

I have the fluid replaced at 60K-ish miles.

Dealer couldn't find anything wrong yet - no lights, no codes.

Did you find out any more on yours?
