| | | Posted by Samurai As a sidebar, how has the Astra performed for you guys?
| Could be better. The transmission is getting crunchy, for the lack of a better term. GM US claims the trans is "Sealed for life", while GM EVERYWHERE ELSE states that the fluid needs a change at 50,000km, which means I'm over twice overdue at 78,000 miles. If we keep the Astra and the trans isn't covered under powertrain warranty, we then decide whether or not we keep it. If we trade it, we don't fix anything, just drive one in, drive a different one out, done. If we sell, I have to fix the transmission well enough that it can be passed to the next Joe Blow that's going to drive it into the ground. We'd likely pick up something like an early 3rd gen Integra to be our daily. The third option is to install a 6 speed from a Cruize and keep the car. We owe less than $7000 on it now, with just over 2 years left to pay on it.

| those transmissions are most certainly not sealed for life despite the claims in the owners manual (i always HATED that shit, especially with the automatics)... Any GM dealer will work on that car. The fill point is in the same place it normally is... they had to fill it at the factory, right? If you transaxle is getting notchy, definitely time to have a synthetic fluid put in. I wonder if your Astra take synchromesh fluid?
