Paddle shifters would be cool, but I think I' ll still opt for the six-speed.
As far as the ATF, I wouldn' t recommend changing it. I know it doesn' t make sense but your mechanic was right. Changing the ATF now will more than likely lead to leaks. You see, ATF is a very good cleaner when it is new. Because you have driven over 100,000 miles on your current ATF the cleaning properties have diminshed allowing small dirt particles to collect on various o-rings and seals in you transmission. Those same o-rings and seals have also deteroriated, again due to the long period of time the ATF has been in your transmission. New ATF will "clean" all of the particles that have collected in those o-rings and seals in your transmission and because the condtion of the seals and o-rings has been compromised they will start to leak. It may even cause poor shift quality and will more than likley accelerate transmission failure. You' re better off with the old ATF. Unless it came with synthetic ATF. If that is the case you should change it ASAP.
