Default 2012 auto 5 transmission.

so the transmission is a no service one. how dumb.

i feel like many a gunk and grime have maneuvered their way in there. i just know it. sketchy shifts, lagged shifts. crunchy shifts and all around shitty shifts.

how can i flush or even just swap fluid without forkin over 400 for the service at the dealership. like cmon man i want to get my amsoil in there.

curious about this as well..mine feels the same. super slow shifts sometimes along with holding a gear for what seems to be way too long. Is this common of all the new 5 speeds? I dont think I recall mine doing that when new but now with 13k on it it sure seems to be lagging a bit.

I feel mine holds 1st gear and sometimes 4th for too long. I tap right on the stick and it shifts then, but I shouldn't have to tell the tranny when to be shifting. When under hard acceleration, I would understand, but it happens even under a light foot.
