Should you change the transmission fluid filter in a 1997 Chevy S-10 Blazer with over 100K miles?
as long as you '''DON'T''' flush it, you should be ok. DO NOT let the shop trick you in to a flush. If the transmission fluid has been low or is very old, the gears inside the transmission are not lubricated as they should be while driving. When the metal gears rub against each other with little or no fluid for lubrication, lots of little metal shavings will be created and end up in the transmission fluid filter. When you get one of those flushes the shops will try to sell you, the transmission fluid is pumped backwards through the transmission filter, then through the gears and then out of the system. This would work fine if your transmission has never been low on transmission fluid or had a clogged transmission filter. But if you have metal shaving in your transmission fluid filter/oil pan. This will be the death of your transmission. Because all the metal shavings are pumped back into the gears, where they will be stuck. Running a transmission with lots of metal shavings inside of it, is not much different from running it with sand in between the gears. So, yeah. Just like the other guy said. If you have an older or abused car, DON't let the shops talk you into getting one of those reverse transmission flushes. This will turn a transmission that's semi-usable into a completely blown transmission I'd say about 25 to 100 miles of driving later down the road.
How much is a transmission flush on a 2000 Grand Am SE?
How much you got? I'll take it. I hear they have this deal to flush transmissions but I prefer to take the pan off the bottom and replace the filter and scrape all the gook out of the pan. $45.00 is reasonable with a new filter. To you neophytes - changing the filter and fluid every fifty thousand miles is cheap. Replacing the transmission may cost more than another used car.
How do you know if you need to flush transmission?
If you wait for a transmission to have problems before you have it professionally flushed, you've waited to long. It really depends on your driving conditions but in most cases I would flush it every 50K, it will pay in the long run.
Can you do a transmission flush yourself?
You most certainly can, however it does require a partner. Back before there were machines to do transmission flushes this is how we used to do it. Jack the vehicle up slightly depending on vehicle type. Disconnect the transmission fluid feed line from either the tranny cooler or the tranny itself (has to be the feed line) now with the feed line inside of a good sized bucket have a friend with a funnel ready to begin pouring new tranny fluid into the filler. Start the car and as the old tranny fluid exits the feed line in the bucket your buddy should be pouring new tranny fluid into the filler as soon as you see new tranny fluid begin to exit the feed line turn the engine off. Now doing it yourself will require a few additional quarts of trans fluid, but it is a small price to pay for saving on the labor. Good Luck!

A transmission flush can replace 98% of the existing fluid with fresh transmission fluid. It basically purges the system of the old and replaces it with new.
