Maybe 100-150 for a flush. Depends on where you live. I think when I had men done a few years go it was less than 150.
Check the fluid first. If its pinkish it should be ok I would think. If is a darker, maybe oil or murky color time for a flush. I don't know if there is a recommends mileage for our cars though. Also that price quote I have was for a corolla. Could be 200 for a premium car.

Most flush machines run fluid into the line from the radiator going to the transmission. Since the coolent goes from the rad into the trans to cool the fluid (instead of the trans fluid going into the rad as on most cars) you have to plug the line an run the on the outside of the hose into the transmission. .... If that makes sense.
Anyway, it was around $200 and the Lexus dealer that did it stated they had to use about 18-20 qts to get all of the old fluid out. Seems like a good deal, based on the cost of the fluid per gallon.

I dont mind people being wrong....but when it's forcefully wrong, you just lose credibilty. A totally sealed system, mean they would have had to miricle the fluid in to start with (unless you think maybe they filled up the trans and then welded it closed. The previous poster is correct it takes a special nipple for the flush machine.
