Sounds like a good time to change your tranny fluid.

Personally, changing the tranny fluid is something that I consider one of those things that you can't do too many times.

edit: sorry, didn't realize you were automatic. Not sure what fluid that needs, but it definately doesn't hurt to change your tranny fluid too often.

The general rule is every 30k miles.

Bubbles? I'd spend the money to have a transmission shop take a look. If that's water from a leak in your radiator's transmission cooler, you may be in time to save it for hundreds instead of thousands.

i am not exactly sure how often, and don't quote me on that. but definitely change it when you feel something fishy when shifting at lower gears. i recently changed mine, it was either old or was leakin. the tranny would catching on later from the time you step on the throttle at lower gears, a delay. if you read my previous thread on "question for transdude" it'll explain it all. i called John and he suggested checking the fluid which i did. flushed it all out and refilled it. it's running happier than ever.
