Transmission Pan Gasket replace

[kornholio]

I am a little confused here, maybe somebody can explain the last post to me. Secure the vehicle with candles on all four corners of the security? What does that mean? I also didn't quite get the rest of what he said. Maybe someone here can clarify for me. Thanks

Today i take my 9 to do the oil change and the dealership do a full circle inspection for my car. After 12k miles and 1 year later since the last transmission leak issue, my SA said that there is a moisture around the transmission that probably could be a leak in the near future. For now, he said nothing to worry about because there is no actual leak & drips from the transmission itself. Any input from you guys regarding this matter?

Boy, i already own the 9 from last year yet there are lots of annoying minor issues that my car had. I know that the transmission is sourced from Aisin / Toyota, but in 1 year there is a possibility of another leak?! Heck, even my Lexus which had tons of recalls compared to the 9 never had this issue. /end of rant

"could be" is the keyword here.
He is not sure about it. It could be anything (splash from elsewhere, etc.).

just keep an eye on it. and my personal opinion, never "flush" a transmission. always drain and refill, all flushing does is force debris and everything into places it wasn't before.

High fluid temp causes transmission fluid to degrade.
Based on my observation, when lightly loaded, the tranny fluid temp should be
between ambient temp to 200F (max I have seen on ScanGaugeII-X).
If you tow frequently, it might be a good idea to change fluid more often.

I keep a schedule of 30K/45K/60K/...for transmission fluid.
