So you're finding more failures now with the 5 speeds? That is interesting.

I'm pretty religious about doing tranny fluid changes these days... I have a couple older c900s which (unfortunately) have those super fragile automatics, and I change the tranny fluid in them pretty much every oil change... One of them had probably gone it's whole life without tranny fluid changes before I got it and was going south, but seems to be improving significantly now that the fluid is cleaner... and all I've been doing is opening the drain plug, draining and refilling (dilution method)... no continuous changes (eg turbocon86's tip) or removal of the covers/governor cleaning etc... seems to be slowly getting the crap out and shift points are slowly coming back to normal...

Our 9-5 is newish to us with unknown history so I already did a drain/refill, though I probably won't change it as often as the c900s... I only did one drain/fill (was at about 100k) because it was pretty clean with no issues and will probably do it once a year give or take... I can't imagine leaving it *that* long since it is so easy to do... ignore the WIS instructions and just do it on a dilution basis... just need a 24mm wrench and a new washer... John, I'd listen to Swedecar's advice here... you're not going to hurt anything by doing a proper drain/refill. In your case, I'd do it 3x as saabsince93b suggests... 20 minutes of each weekend for 3 weeks with driving in between...
