In 1986 I had a AMMCO Transmission with their lifetime warranty installed in my 73 Blazer. One of the main features I liked about it was that I no longer had to do any maintainence on it. I just had to take it in every year for them to look at it. At first they were changing the fluid and filter, but that soon stopped. The yearly check consisted of them driving it around the block, checking rhe dipstick, and trying to sell me additional serfvices. I did not care, if they actually serviced the tranny at all. If it failed, they had to fix it, About 15 years ago, they told me that the tranny fluid and filter needed to be changed. I told them to go ahead. They told me how much it was going to cost me. I told them to read my warranty. After much hemming and hawing and some phone calls to corporate, they honered the warranty and did it for free.... And then told me that it did not need to be done very often, and that the Lifetime warranty I have is not like the one they offer now. They have not changed the fluid/filter since. And they have really backed off on trying to upsell me other services.
If one thinks about it from a mechanical mindset, tranny fluid is not like engine oil.There are no combustion contaiminents finding their way into the fluid.And the fluid really doesn't wear out. So long as it doesn't get too hot, it can last forever.
