transmission flush

Thoughts anyone?

Re: transmission flush

I've heard if your car has any tiny leak, it will be a big leak. If their is already some trouble in your transmission the flush will bring these problems to the surface.

I've heard regular transmission maintaince is good and if you can change the fluid every year, would be a good idea to do so.

But this is what I have heard.............with regular transmission fluid change keep updated, a flush should not be needed. Just my opinion.

Re: transmission flush

You won't have trouble with that type of miles. When you get 90k + and it hasn't been serviced is when things start to happen. The friction modifiers in the old fluid can actully be holding parts of the tranny together and when you flush it they get wiped out.
