Clean the screen(s) and change the fluid. Flushing is just asking to stir
something up in there ...to lodge somewhere else. Would you flush your
Spridget carb? Just my opinion. ...bill in oregon

Subject: [Spridgets] Tranny Question - No LBC
Wife came home from having her 2005 Silverado PU s/ auto tranny serviced at
the dealership. On the paper they gave her they noted that the front pads
are getting close to needing replacing - a job I will do myself. They also
wrote "Need a transmission flush ASAP."
I had to look this up on the web because I've only ever had manual
trannies! It looks as if there are differing opinions upon the utility of
flushing the automatic transmission and that you need a special machine to
do it. I'm open for ideas and opinions on this process.... One local guy
told me that even some of the manufacturers don't recommend it any more. I
don't know what to believe so I'm opening the floodgates here in hopes of
getting a good argument started... ;-)
Frank... you are right to keep your Ford PU with manual tranny!!

Cheers!!
