Don't flush. Just do the drain and refill. My local dealer charges $99.00

For our sealed transmissions:
Power flush = bad
Fluid exchange = good
Drain & refill = good (if repeated several times)

Flush = don't know. Not enough information to go on. It could mean a "power flush" or just a fluid exchange.
If done by a competent mechanic (or owner) who is familiar with the correct procedure and fluid, should be OK,
but he should be able to correctly describe it to you.
The exact terminology is important!
Refer to the extensive posts by LScowboy regarding our Aisin transmissions.

Looks great man! I didn't know that they made saddle in this Gen. I've been searching for it with my Gen, but it's very rare, esp the white on saddle combo like yours.
