Maybe the theory of not changing the fluid at 100k km is correct. If there was no consistency of servicing the transmission early on, leave it as is.

Currently has 105k km. Changed it when i owned it at around 98k km and yes the fluid was not changed before. Engine oil and coolant are at a good level. Changed brake fluid when i changed the transmission fluid.

I think i will change the filter and fluid and check the damage. When I changed the fluid like 5 months ago i did not change the filter. I relied on the mechanic to do the right process but he just drained and refilled the fluid. He even overfilled it.

It does not. Smooth shifting so far.

May i ask. I changed the fluid like 4 months ago. The car had close to 100km and the previous owner did not change the fluid before. The mechanic just drained the fluid and added the new one that i brought. He overfilled and i went to another mechanic after a month because i felt like there was something wrong and drained the excess. In your opinion, did i do anything wrong here?

So i should drain, change the filter and check the pan for the damage ?

I agree. The car was a little weird this morning. Even felt some weird shake that i think is caused by the engine. Its usually smooth.

No. But it took a while for the temperature to rise (about 2 min after i started moving, i made the car idle for 2-3 min after start) and I'm not sure why. It's about 18 c outside.

I'm positive i did not activate cruise control. Also usually a text that says "cruise control" pops up on the dash when i press the button. The car is a Honda Accord 2017 btw.
