Re: IML: Transmission flush?

Yeah, be ready for complete failure. If all your problem descriptions are accurate, then I wouldn't be a bit surprised, if you didn't make it home after the flush, and refill. All the trash in the trans. actually helps the different components maintain some degree of pressure seal.The fresh fluid, washes it out, and now the pressures that hold clutches, bands, and servo pistons, during operation is lowered. Just ask before the procedure is done, if they will give some credit towards the rebuild/ replacement of the trans. should it become necessary. I hate to be DR. DOOM (as friends have called me) But , I'm realistic.Ya'll have a nice day, Dave.
