ATF fluid flush!`

Leslie
I strongly suggest that you do not just have fluid changed. Instead you have the complete flush. A fluid change only changes 25% of fluid. The flush system consists of adding a solvent to remove deposits, circulation hot through all of the gear changes (they do it with car on a lift) and then they push ALL the old fluid out and push in new. This is done with an external circulation cart where they can monitor the fluid.

I had my '94 done at 125k miles. It previously had the simple change done per routine maintenance. The fluid they removed looked like sludge!! They had to do two total fluid changes to get it really clean.

This service costs $110-135, including the new fluid, for one flush.

A recommendation from me. Others please comment on this service.
