What is a Transmission Flush?

Unlike a fluid change that uses gravity to remove most of the old transmission fluid from the transmission, a transmission flush utilizes a special tool that removes all the old fluid from the system. This government-regulated machine is attached to the transmission system via the cooler lines. Once the tool is activated, the old fluid will flow out of the system and a cleaning solution will be pumped in. This solution helps remove all the residue and sludge within the system that may have built up over time. Once the system is rid of the old fluid and the cleaning solution is out of the system, your selected transmission fluid is filled into the transmission system.
