Thread: Transmission flush?

whats wrong with flushes?

Many have needed to get a new trans after having a flush done.

Best thing to do is a pan drop and change the filter.

oh wow i didnt know that is there a thread that explains this im curious why this happens and why it needs that material. is it just the 4t65's that do this? ive done flushes on pretty much every gm non transverse transmission and never had a problem.

If you change 80% of the fluid to fluid without that liquid clutch, how is that any different than a flush?

The main concern of a flush as far as I know would be dislodging buildup that continues on to clog other components, thus rendering the transmission useless.

Just picked up mine from shop and they told me they flushed it and didn't change the filter. Why the #uck would they do that after I told them not to flush it. And why not change the filter??!!
How long do u think till I need a trans?
