2eyefishclaw: do you have any opinion about there being a difference doing the flush in a "non-maintained" auto trans vs. a "maintained" one ? and, is there a brand name on that flush system you use? thanks again for your realworld info. //bc

I believe the flushing machine that uses the transmission's pump is called the T-tech, maybe, I can't remember for sure. I've had my tranny flushed several times with this particular machine over the years and I've never had a single issue with 3 automatics of different makes/models. Though I have had 1 seal & 2 pan gaskets go out on the Rodeo this year - I can't rightly put the blame on the machine though, as the truck is 10yrs & 166k miles old with a LOT of towing in it's history. And the gaskets were simple replacement items anyway along with the filter. I personally believe the issues of debris being forced around and causing issues in the transmission is linked to service neglect in the 1st place - shouldn't be much debris to get lodged if service is at least every 25-30k.

Re: acumulator piston do it yourself??
I have heard of t-tech but its not what we use
there is a flusher the shop purchased from BG same people we get all of our miricale in a can stuff from I use all of their products in my vehicles and have seen first hand how engine and tranny life can be extended by using their stuff (properly using their stuff) I have always heard that is is not a good idea to flush a tranny after 75k if it has never been done before because the clutch particles it the fluid are whats helping hold the thing together I dont know if there is any thruth in that I just flush my own out every 15k and dont look back

Re: acumulator piston do it yourself??
I've had the Rodeo's flushed every 25k miles, except this last 3 times I've done partial fluid swaps ever since it hit 115k miles. I personally don't believe in having them flushed after 100k even if it's been done before, just because of age in seals/gaskets.
That BG stuff you're talking about, is that like the BG44 fuel system cleaner and oil conditioner?
