Hello, a few hundred miles ago I changed the ATF in the AR35 on my 3.0 Elite. Prior to this it didn't seem to be jerky or unsmooth or anything untoward apart from a clonk noise very very rarely and only when it was cold.
After the change it seems much better, alot smoother, it seems to change up earlier from a cold start and not hang onto gears. The changes are barely noticeable, and when you pull away it does it seamlessly! Yeah some of it could be in the mind, but I'm happy with that!
One more job down!

im going to change mine soon i have no problems with the auto box but my car has done 92k so it wont hurt to do it
-
I thought I had no problems until I changed the fluid now it's lovely!
Mine had 115k on the clock when I changed ATF, it hadn't been done upto then.
Automatics rule

good news might try and do mine a bit sooner

What engine/box have you got? I made a little guide for this job, it's still in the test section atm. It's quite straightforward though

mines a facelift 2.5 v6 i think it has the ar25 box but not sure
-
just read your guide and very helpful if i have the ar25 box is it basically the same to do

From what I have heard on OOF the 2.5 has the ar25. I would've thought it'd be the same if not v similar. The filter is the same. I imagine the casing and sumps etc will be the same only the innards might be slightly different due to cost etc.

Yes, boxes indentical from a fluid change point of view :y

Get the tech2 updates for your box, and it will be even smoother. :y

I will try, but I don't think there is anyone near me, and I'm not paying stupid dealers stupid dealer rates when I'd rather give it someone on OOF!

Indeed, a facelift 3.0 is likely to have a GS820 TCM, and probably V6 or V7 firmware. On this TCM, its the V8 to V9 that gives the big improvement.

I would imagine that a trip to next years lakes meet would be your best option. :y
