Hello,
I am getting my Tranny Serviced at a Dealer as long as my car is in getting a new water pump (Damn thing is driven off the timing chain beleive it or not).. Yes I know Dealers are usually expensive, but my local dealer seams to be the only one that gets my repairs right the first time.
He is going to drop the pan and change the fluid. He also offers a flush, but he claims that changing the filter is the way to go. Now if you talk to a quick lube, they will tell you flushing is the best.. Maybe having both done is the best.. Those people at the quickie lube also tried telling me it flushes backwards to clean the filter.. That sounds like a load of BS because I beleive the tranny actually pulls in the new fluid from its own suction..
I understand not all the fluid from the Torque converter gets changes when you just drop the pan.
Did I make a bad choice in letting the dealer change the filter VS having it flushed? I guess I could just get a flush on my next oil change to get all the fluid..
Jeff
