I disagree with this. I don't condone backflushing a tranny, but I do support the forward method. Flushing a tranny by hooking up a machine that replaces all of the fluid (not just what's in the pan)while the car is running puts no strain on the transmission beyond what it experiences in normal operation.
I actually had my tranny flushed last summer because I had a fluid passage blocked somewhere and my car would stop moving after 5 minutes. The flush solved that problem. Sure, the tranny died a week and a half later, but I don't attribute that to the flush. I attribute it to the clutches that were so badly worn they were plugging up the fluid passages.
