I really hope ABJ didn't tell you to leave it alone! Fluid neglect is probably the biggest cause of failure on these auto trannies. I'd bet ya money that if you have it flushed, it'll feel all better! I've got 140k on my original tranny (with regular changes documented from the PO) and now I do it every other oil change. it feels great!
