transmission flush

Formerly "ZCHPRO"
if its dark brown it hasn't been changed recently, bright pink is brand new. Mine was flushed before I got it and seems to run fine (although there are people who will say flushing is a no-no). If its somewhere in between you should drop the pan and change the filter (just to be safe). good luck in your decision

Go with the Flow:
If the fluid is pink and sweet don't bother with a flush. Drop the pan, drain the old fluid, drain the torque converter, replace the filter, replace the pan with a new gasket, refill with Mercon V (or Chrysler ATF+4 if you want to be adventurous) and drive it.

sure go for it, but that many miles you have a very high chance of the flush breaking some crap loose and clogging a valve. which = rebuild the tranny. Sometimes it will work fine but the higher the miles, the more risk you are taking. Transmission flushing is a touchy subject around most automotive groups/forums, many people have been screwed over by it.

seafoam it and FLUSH it.....
I always opt for the chemical flush when I can and I have never killed a tranny....
only those that slip after a flush had issues prior and the flush just uncovered it more...if you dont take care of your trans it will let you down...
