well i think it's kind of stupid because your manual says fluid change i think at 160k(again i use k iam in canada sorry gents) but iam told to flush at 50k??? i too am a little confused by this one also..most shops wont flush it for you unless you can prove that you've done it evey 50k because of how many develop problems after the flush then come down on the shop who did it saying it worked fine befor the flush and now it slips? i've being a mechanic since '93 iam no tranny mechanic it is it's own trade for a reason. iam in heavy equipment for the last 5 yrs so lots has changes since class 'A' days, this is why i recommend taking it to your local tranny shop one with a good rep..dont forget most dealers dont have a tranny mechanic most send them out or just change them, i know my dealer doesnt have one..they just change parts there, they can't seem to fix anything!! sonnex transmission.com has list of parts to upgrade your tranny to make it stonger and shift wayyyy better, remmember these stupid things have PLASTIC parts that do wear out and need replacing so have a shop take a look...final note 4l60e.com is very good feel free to e-mail the tech's with questions they helped me lots when my tranny blew and guess what it happened after a flush! stupid me..
