Default What he said.

I have been saying the same, I did a poll a while back and nobody on here has damaged their working gearbox with oil changing.
If you change the oil expecting a mechanical fault to repair itself its not going to happen.
If the gearbox clutch plates are worn out and providing enough drive with old oil there is a slim chance that new oil will make it slip, if so the box was already knackered!
Good clean oil won't hurt the box, that's the experience of most on here that have done it, me included at 220k miles doing a full oil change.
