A fluid change means they are draining the fluid and replacing it with fresh fluid. There are 2 types of fluid changes. In one they only drain the transmission pan, replace the filter and refill it. That leaves lots of old fluid in the torque converter. In a complete fluid change they replace all the fluid in the system with fresh fluid including the fluid in the torque converter. Make sure you for sure get this service done and not just a partial fluid change. In a flush they remove all the fluid and flush the system with a chemical detergent that removes varnish and all dirt from the system. In theory this sounds like a good thing but the reality is that this can cause problems if some of these particles stay in the system and later cause problems. If you car is high mileage, as in over 100,000 miles, I would not recommend you have a transmission flush. Just get a complete fluid and filter change.
this is not a owner serviceable part take it to a mechanic
Sorry, I do not know. You just pull a drain plug to drain the transmission. To flush the transmission, he needs to drain the transmission, remove a cooler line, run the engine while filling the transmission so the torque converter can discharge any contaminated fluid. Your fluid must have shown sign of overheating for him to suggest that. Good/smart mechanic. Need more like him.
Only the transmission needs to be removed. One day.
