I think you mean most people don't believe in flushing your tranny. Everyone that I have talked to changes it but not a lot of people flush the system.

having a trans flush is by far the best thing you can do for your trans, only if it has been done at every 30,000 miles from the beginning of its life, if you don't know the repair history just drop the pan and replace the fluid and filter.

at 97,000 id do a pan drop and filter, it cant hurt.

i bought my car with 212,000 and i am scared to death to touch it lol, its had 8 owners, and i dont have a clue whats been done to it before i got it, sept for what i can tell, my lim was done at some point and maybe even the engine or trans was swapped out, every bolt has socket scars so im sure. theres been a lot of stuff done but im unsure of what.

im just going to leave mine alone for now, when i get my act together im rebuilding my motor and trans at the same time, im thinking one of them tep transmissions, as im not building back to stock, it may even get a whipple blower, i cant wait
