Another Q...Trans flush or just drop pan/filter
Im going back and forth on this too...I have 65K miles, if I do a flush I will do it by popping lines and letting the car run for a few seconds each time to flush that way.........or just drop the pan, change the filter, top it off and be done?!?
Once again, NO dipstick...I hate that!!!!

+4 Drop pan new filter & gasket fresh fluid and buy the dip stick tool, check level hot.
FWIW many transmissions have died after a "power flush" at the dealers......that said many could have had some problem that owner thought a power flush would cure.

I hate power flushes too and would never do one personally...I've "flushed" vehicles by simply adding fluid...cracking a cooler line...start car for 5-10 seconds so it purges and repeat until clean fluid appears. But from what you guys are saying it sounds like the fluid is still fine and none of this is worth doing...I have no problems going the easy route either!
