tran fluid

99 Exp EB 100K Tranny fluid prob never been changed. Should I get fluid changed or leave it be. I've heard changing fluid may cause harm if it has never been changed after this many miles? Any truth to that or just BS?

Change it. Change the filter and drain the torque converter while your at it.

New fluid has killed trannys before, BUT that only happens when the tranny is worn out and will be dieing on its own soon anyway. What usually happens is a worn out seal will blow because the new fluid can hold higher line pressures. Bottom line, change it. If nothing happens with in a couple hundred miles, then your tranny should be in good shape.
