I have a 2000 Honda Civic with 130,000 miles on it (it's been mostly a commuter car). A family member recently borrowed it for a few weeks, and said it was making horrible noises and took it in and got the front brakes replaced. He said that the mechanic said we should also get our transmission fluid changed.
Just a few days ago (about 2 weeks since the brakes were changed) it started making horrible screeching noises when we back up, or even just regularly driving. Is this because we need our transmission fluid changed or something else?
I've read that getting the transmission fluid changed on cars with high mileage can actually do damage to the car--if this is true, what am I supposed to do? Keep driving with the old fluid or is there another option?
Please help! We're poor newlywed college students and don't want to spend more money than we have to to get this fixed, but don't want the car to die on us either! Thanks!
Screeching noise coming from my car--something to do with transmission fluid?
no,it wont hurt anything to change the tranny fluid.i did and mine has over 100,000 miles and it didnt hurt my tranny,but it doesnt sound like its your tranny.it sounds like the brakes,orthe mechanic put the brakes on wrong.does it make noise just when you apply the brakes,if so then its in the brake system.
