Default Re: tranny slips 2-3

I have the machine to do the flush's (we are a used car lot Arizona Motorcar) and I have seen hundreds of bad transmissions. flushing alone will not remve all the clutch debris .as an experiment 3 years ago we have flushed the trans on a 80000 mile 1999 ford F150 and then dropped the pan and you should have seen what was left on the bottom of the pan ,now we flush and than drop the pan clean and change the filter. if you want to do it right you need flush the system drop the pan clean it and change the filter . this is a pain in the A$$ and cost more in labor and trans fluid . I do mine this way and I do customers that way . this has cut our trans failures down 65% in the last 3 years . most won't do it this way because it cost more to do it right and cuts down profit . sometimes short cuts cost more in the long run . FWIW the companys that sell the flush machine pitch it as a fast way to maximize profit on trans services . it's all about the money .
