YES! You would help extend the transmission as well as have a smoother shift from your vehicle.
Bring to a shop that has equipment to do so
Servicing the transmission properly requires replacement of the filter screen and flushing the system with a machine built for that purpose.
I question the practice why not remove the transmission pan and drain,replace old filter and gasket?? Just makes sense to me
no there is still fluid in the torque convertor,lines & cooling tank
Flushing involves a machine that hooks up to the cooler lines and pushes fluid in as the transmission pumps it out.
its your transmission. try flushing it and using lucas...if that doesnt work you need a new transmission... :(
nnnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.............
There is not an approved method for flushing the transmission itself,You can however flush the transmission cooler, "Manditory when the transmission is replaced". Pall makes an Allison approved cooler flusher,they are very expensive though. Allisontech
== == Flushing is also an option, although I haven't had good luck using this system. I have had multiple failures after this procedure and also flushing doesn't give the opportunity to access and change the filter. I wouldn't do it that way. I would much rather pay somebody else to do it. Or you can do it like I did and buy the fluid then have a friend who has access to a transmission flushing device do it that way. A lot easier then dropping the pan. Drop the transmission oil pan
The best thing to do is to take it to a repair shop that has a transmission flushing machine. That will change all of the fluid in the system.
It depends on the service plan that is required to maintain the warranty. You should first check those documents to details regarding required service. If nothing is stated about flushing the transmission, that particular maintenance then is at your discretion. Flushing a transmission is not "required" unless the service agreement considers it a part of the maintenance plan in order to maintain the warranty. A service warranty can be voided for a number of reasons, so it is important to read the contract, especially the fine print. Review the contract, which will specify if radiator flushing is a part of the long-term maintenance schedule.
Depending on the mileage, and if you are having issues, your best option would be to change the transmission fluid/filter. I would not recommend additives or flushing.
