Thinking about getting a transmision flush done

[EdNerd]

I'm not thinking of any kind of shop machine flush - especially not the power kind! Just where you run tubing into fresh fluid and let the tranny's own pump suck up new fluid as the old drains out.

Whichever way - a fluid replace or multiple drain-and-fills, you are still (hopefully) replacing nearly all the fluid with fresh. And so would risk the detergent issue stated in the quote. Yes?? No??

I've never read (elsewhere) of ATF detergents being an issue at any point in the life of the transmission. The nasties are loosened up due to excessive turbulence of the external flushing pump, and that's what can cause transmissions to fail.

Sounds right to me! Thanks.
