Transmission flush procedure question
Hi everyone,
Have appointment with indie mechanic for tranny flush next week. They told me it takes 12 liters of DB fluid to do it. Sounds good to me so far.
My question is: at what point in the flushing process should the filter be replaced? Should they flush, drain, replace filter and then top off? Or should they drain, replace filter and then flush?
Cheers.
