Question: When my car reached 175,000 miles, my automatic transmission started to slip. Should I let my mechanic use an automatic transmission rebuild kit to fix it? Would I have to replace my transmission anyways if the kit doesn't solve the problem?
Answer: The kit should be able to fully fix the problem if you have an automatic transmission, I wouldn't worry too much about it. A rebuild kit is more or less a new transmission, so if it doesn't fix whatever is wrong, that is a clue that the problem itself might not be with the transmission.

Question: Everyone knows about the importance of oil changes as preventative maintenance. Is there any low-cost maintenance that can be done for automatic transmissions that would help avoid expensive repairs?
Answer: There are several things you can do:
1) don't overload/overwork your transmission. It was designed to do what it does within limits.
2) Don't 'burn' your transmission when trying to get out of a snowbank or mud. Mineral-based fluids 'die' very quickly when overheated, and they DO NOT recover. CHANGE IT.
3) Though transmission cleaning is not normally recommended, when changing fluid, use the AMSOIL product which is noncorrosive and can be disposed of as nonhazardous waste.
4) Use the best fluids. Anything cheaper and of lesser quality will end up costing far more in lost fuel mileage overall, and in eventual premature repairs at greater cost than the best fluid. Use AMSOIL's synthetic fluid for your specific purpose. It is unrivaled. AMSOIL INVENTED synthetics for automotive use and has billions of miles in research and development.
5) Add a transmission cooler (radiator) is you must push the limits. It will be cheaper than a transmission.
