I had a flush done at local Indy 6 months ago (12 quarts of fluid) for 225. The flush is a valid procedure invoked following transmission maintenance. The general flush seems easier than drain and filter replacement. Next time I think I will request the standard drain, filter change, and refill. In any event $700 plus is outrageous.

I had flush done on my E320 & it ruptured the seals, destroying control module & costing me $6000 to fix. These transmissions were made to drain not flush with pressure. Be careful. My Indy did it right on my next E for $400.

My E63 cost about 450.00 for a drain and refill. Flush is not necessary. Drain, refill and replace filter every 40,000 miles.
