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?

I'm not a transmission expert but this sounds very fishy to me.
