I dont know man, I have heard good and bad of flushes, but mostly bad. From what I have heard most, unless you get it flushed every 20-30k miles, dont do it at all. For example, if you have over 100k now and it hasn't been done, then dont do it. But that is just what I have heard... I'm no pro

OP,
Sorry to hijack the thread for a few pages...

Olyer- Thanks for the insight.. I've heard that as well... I think I'll just do the old fashion way.. take it off.. clean the pan/mag.(maybe a new 727-DD), new filter/gasket.. and fill her back up with some new fluid

No problem iwhitne, but if you could answer the PM I sent you that'd be great!

I had my tranny flushed a 110xxx miles for the first time. I've had no problems and I just rolled over 130xxx.



And now I just jinxed myself

I usually do the white trash flush.Disconnect a cooler line,run the engine until the line quits puking fluid,then drop the pan.Gets most of the fluid out,and saves the $$$.I usually use synthetic trans fluid also.
