You can add Trans-X, Seafoam, or Lucas trans treatment at this time also, as all these products actually work and will not harm your transmission.
Any place that claims their fluid exchange machine "backflushes" your filter is full of crapola and has no clue. If it backflushed the filter, the reverse pressure would screw up the entire trans, especially the machines that require the car to be running while doing the fluid exchange. These machines use the trans pump to circulate the fluid.
Hey Rich...you know anything about GM Transmission Fluid Friction Modifier?

We had a couple of pints of it at the parts store in back...I never got around to reading it to see what it's for.
