Have your AT rebuilt and stop second guessing yourself!
Question should be...will ebay pay to remove that high mileage AT when it fails? What are you getting with a AT that has 80K miles on it, how was it treated during it's life...was the fluid ever changed? We have members frequently asking if they should change the fluid on their AT with over 100K miles that has never been changed. Scary thought!

Yea I've read that before, where a transmission fluid change caused problems.. I've tried to drive in a way that's easy on the transmission since I got the car at 50000 miles... I learned my lesson with my previous car a 2001 eclipse which I drove like a racecar destroying the transmission at 150000..... I'm only thinking about the transmission now because sometimes when I start off I hear a rattle under the car while pressing the gas pedal. I still havnt found a definite answer about what it is.

Usually stuff like that is exhaust, you're not going to hurt the transmission by changing the fluid as long as you only do a drain/fill and use Matic-J or Matic-S. In fact it's supposed to be done and will extend the life of the transmission.
Here's a reply I wrote on another thread about where this misinformation comes from any why you should change the fluid. It's one of those things like "once you switch to synthetic oil you can never go back to conventional", complete myth.

Getting 300k out of an automatic tranny is just a measure of how hard you are on the clutch packs, you've obviously been driving in a more rational manner in the G35
You're not fully to blame for that Eclipse failing, the third gen ones were notoriously prone to mechanical failure. So sad to see how far they fell from the 2nd to 3rd gen.
