Tranny "fluid" should be changed every 25-30k, being yours has so many miles and unknown if it had ever been changed, take it to a tranny spec. you trust and ask him what he says. Personally I would do it, torque converter and all. I recently just had mine changed and we found some metal on the mag pickup, probably a planetary gear going south, no problems yet but indicators. I have 340k on mine and have changed it regularly. Preventive maintenance is cheaper than repairs.

I've been thinking of doing the "total system evacuation" (conveter n'all) & a filter change on my '98 4WD 5.4L Expy.
I'm assuming this cant be done in under the shade tree. So where's the best place to take it for this? Ford Dealer, Jiffy Lube, etc.???
