I have a Sierra 1500 5.3L with 115,000 miles. I'm guessing that the automatic transmission fluid has never been changed. I just bought it and it feels like it's shifting pretty hard. So I'm wanting to drain the fluid and put an additive in. I'm wondering if I would do more harm than good. I've heard that changing the fluid this far along can cause problems. Should I change the fluid and then change it again in 5K miles, leave it as is, or do one of those total tranny flushes? Thanks for any advise.
