I have seen more damage done than helped by fluid exchanges. The little particles get moved about by the force of the fliud going where it might not normally go and then it gets stuck in the valve body and hangs the tranny up.

ya, always nice to get one in the 80s...but now it's time to retire cuz it just won't get any better! And i had a 9 & 7 in that round!!

my dad got one carpet for free, and one marked WAY down. one went in okay. the other was sorta folded and had kinks and air bubbles. couldn't stretch that one out AT ALL. and neither of these looped berbers would hold on the smooth edge worth a darn. oh well, it's a rental suite, and he's thinking of selling it anyways. looks better than the old stuff, but still kinda tacky overall.

I agree. AND, the PSD has a drain bolt on the torque converter. a tranny shop told me they suck out the lines too, which pretty well gives it a full drain. my cousin was saying something about hooking up the lines that go to the rad, to somewhere else (not the fluid exchange machine), and then running it to get a complete flush.

Just heard a radio ad that states that they don't suck out the fluid, but drop the pan. funny timing[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
