Official Transmission Fluid Change
I finally got my 2010 MCS - Automatic transmission fluid flushed/changed. It was done today and now I have to pickup the car tomorrow. I will let everyone know if the car runs smoother.
I had the fluid changed because the previous owner barely drove the car. The first owner drove it for 38k and the 2nd owner drove it for 2k. It was sitting in the garage 2nd owner's garage for a few years with only 2k in driving.
After 2 months of owning it, I notice that there was a transmission delay on low speed and it also jerk/studder sometimes. Therefore, I went to get the fluid changed.
BTW, the cost was $200 plus tax. They used OEM Mini fluid and filter.

Thanks.
The transmission shifts more smoothly but the whining sound is still there at low speed. I'm not sure what is it... maybe the fuel pump or filter needs to be replaced. I'll get a fuel pressure test later this week. Any ideas can help.
