Default Flush Trans Or Not

Hi Everyone I Just Got My Transmission Flushed At 133,000 Miles And I Have Been Hearing That Sometimes Its Not Good To Flush Out Your Transmission When You Havent Done It Before Because The Loose Particles Floating Inside The Trans Can Save It But I Havent Had The Car Very Long So Was It A Wise Choice For Me To Flush At 133,000 Miles Or Was It A Bad Choice?

Well, how does your vehicle feel now, how does it shift?

flushing your transmission doesn't really do much in terms of bad for the transmission... at our shop, we do flushes on new and old cars alike.. and we have never seen a transmission fail or leak as a result of doing a flush...

If your transmission if fine now, just do a normal drain and refill procedure. I dont see the point of flushing right now if your tranny is working find. Dont fix what's not broken

I would do a transmission flush every 30k miles.It flushes out all of the fluid unlike a drain and refill.A drain and refill only takes out 2 to 4 qts of fluid.Where a flush takes out all of it.The flush machine I use uses 17 qts of fluid.
