If it's dark and not red anymore, then it's time for a change. However, if the thing jerks, have somebody check to see if there is a vacuum line off or clogged. Typically, if the tranny takes a long time to shift the fluid is dirty and so is the filter in the transmission pan. Price other folks and see if you can't get the fluid changed for sixty bucks or so, but that depends on where you live and how many greedy grease monkeys are out there. But, I'd have the cause for the thing jerking checked out first. Transmission fluids are usually changed around 60,000 miles.</p></blockquote><p></p>
