[QUOTE="Wayne Partridge, post: 943684, member: 69151"] Thanks. Yes I read most of the valid comments. Ford mentioned that the 6 speed had the filter in the top. To get to it was a lot of labor . Not an easy task. ( Bad design ) I don't want them screwing up something that isn't broke. My Jimmy had over 150,000 without a transmission flush . How the heck do they get the fluid in with no dipstick ? This might end up costing 300 bucks or more. Ford mentioned 116,000 klm not miles is still considered ok for a flush. I think I will just have the pan taken off drained and replace a small amount of the fluid for the first couple times till I build up confidence that no harm has been done, Mr transmission seems to be less expensive. I will have to keep researching. Should have bought a new one if money were on trees. Oh ya taking it in for a transmission recall some solenoid needs replacing. Not sure if it is internal or not.
