Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I'm sure running one of these machines works best with knowhow and finesse, I'm equally sure most dealerships hire and rehire mechanics like changing light bulbs, especially in the current environment.

You can flush and replace transmission fluid on newer transmissions without any wear, but on older transmissions with a lot of years and miles on them?

So every fluid machine (my cousin has a five thousand dollar Mahle) applied across every brand and model of vehicle ever made is a device purchased and used by service departments as a mechanism to ruin transmissions with purpose, increase profits and create future transmission failures?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1Original post

Picked up an 09 Boxster S. Loads of stupid questions to follow. Have pity on a poor bimmer guy.

POST 2Original post

Maybe even a double dose of pity for the guy with an XJ-S up on blocks…. Congrats on the Boxster. I have a 987.2 base and am happy with the dark blue metallic—but I really wanted that gorgeous blue you have! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

POST 3Original post

Sorry. No pity for anyone who has the 987 secret sauce in their garage. (Bonus points for anyone with a "Base". Brilliant value equation) My pity is saved for those that don't. By the way, congrats! Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

POST 4Original post

Gorgeous, love the blue! Congrats on the car! Check out my YouTube, I do all the basic maintenance for my car, hope you check it out and pick some stuff up! Yours is a 987.2 so I’m sure there are a lot of differences, but I’m sure there’s a lot in common too. What kind of options did yours come with?

POST 6Original post

DNF on the video So every fluid machine (my cousin has a five thousand dollar Mahle) applied across every brand and model of vehicle ever made is a device purchased and used by service departments as a mechanism to ruin transmissions with purpose, increase profits and create future transmission failures? I can't see that or the notion that replacement of fluids completely at one time has a derogatory affect on the system by itself. If a dealer wants to take advantage of you they can just grab you for a five hundred dollar battery without the equipment investment.

POST 7Original post

You can flush and replace transmission fluid on newer transmissions without any wear, but on older transmissions with a lot of years and miles on them? Don’t do it! I’m not saying it’s an intentional scam where the machines are created for the sole purpose of destroying cars, but that’s kinda what happens. I’ve talked to multiple mechanics who agree with me on this. Drain and replace, don’t flush!

POST 8Original post

but that’s kinda what happens. I’ve talked to multiple mechanics . My dad was the lead mechanic, I became one and still have ties. The report I'm getting (one from a Toyota gilded mechanic) is the real issue is the lack of technicians with fundamental skills being assigned work they fail to accomplish with the dealership hoping the chief mechanic will be chief babysitter / corrector. That's why myself I look for skill, honor and integrity at the shop and when I find that I am will to pay the asking wage. I'm sure running one of these machines works best with knowhow and finesse, I'm equally sure most dealerships hire and rehire mechanics like changing light bulbs, especially in the current environment.
