Default Tramission Fluid Flush

Hi,

Has anyone done this to their cars? and where to go to get this done?
I have a '01 IS300, recently just broke 91,000km.

It's been doing some hard shifting, occasionally. I brought it into the dealership (Richmond), but couldn't replicate the problem. So they said there is nothing wrong with my transmission. Also, apparently they don't do any flushes at Richmond, they just change the oil and that's it. Burrard Lexus doesn't have the equipment to do this either.

North shore Lexus will do the flush, but asking for $225.

Anyone have any suggestion?

Thanks!

I wouldn't flush it man, drain and fill is best.

yes flush can do more damage. Just try to drain and fill every oil change (I do, but not necessary) Won't get all the fluids out, but fresh fluid should be enough to keep it shifting smooth.

just empty the tranny fluid completely or do 10 drain-and-fill in sucession...should get rid of all the old dirty fluid
