This thread got me thinking...

I'm just over 60,000 miles, so yesterday I call the dealer to get a quote on a full tranny flush and refill. They quote me $160 to do the whole thing.

He then asks my mileage. I tell him a little over 60,000 why? He then proceeds to tell me that because I skipped the tranny service as scheduled in the manual (37,500 or something) that I should probably just do a drain and re-fill and then come back and do it 2 more times within a few months.

I ask him why and he states because I skipped the earlier service that there is an extra amount of metal shavings, debris etc. in there that could cause damage during the flush procedure because of the abrasiveness of the particles floating around. It seems to make sense but I am not an expert on this.

What do the rest of you fine folks think about this?
