Default RE: transmission flush

Also guys while we are on the subject is a transmission flush even worth doing. In another word i have heard if you do it then you need to do it exacutly when it is recommend or dont do it at all. Also i have heard it you flush it and dont ask them to change the filter that it will plug up the filter and the shops dont tell you this and then you need anew transmission in a few days. All the info on this matter would be great. Thanks

Also while we are on the subject on maintenance when are you suppose to do rear end, front end, transfer case, injector and radiator flush. Thanks

Trans flushes are not reccomended by Gm..Bg,Wynn's,etc has invented that...Gm recommends changing your fluid/filter at 100k.....50 if you tow.

Most of those fluids you mention are 100k.

Be sure to get CORRECT fluids...The rear end oil is 25 bucks a quart...don't get cheap **** from Autozone thinking it will be "just as good"...Read your labels
