In Reply to: O/T Transmission flush (redblood) posted by steve n carol on October 28, 2009 at 10:54:44:

My flush machine is a BG brand machine.

They also off a chemical for before (cleaner) and after(conditioner).

I have a 1979 chevy 4x4 with a 454 big block and a turbo 350 trans. I plow snow, Haul hay, has a dump box in the bed, hauls whatever I need. The truck empty weighs 7200#.

The biggest problem is when you combine a small block rated transmission and big block power. The transmission loses. As such approx. every 2-3 years I had to replace the transmission.

Since I started flushing my trans, Which I thought was BS, I have not changed a transmission yet. I have flushed it straight with fluid, and then used the chemical after the first flush and flushed it again.

I flush my trans once in the spring and once in the fall.

The machine has a sight tube on it so you can see the fluid. After first flush it was now red, after the second flush, with the chemical, it was bright red.

The chemical helped clean it. I do NOT reccomend a transmission with 200,000 miles with minimal or no maintenance be chemical flushed. I would not do it to my own or some one elses.

IF the transmission has been regularly maintained and flushed every 50,000 miles. Then yes by all means it will not hurt it. Does it help? In my opinion yes. Do some people say no. yes It is all up to you and your automotive technicians discretion.*sp*

Sorry so long but needed to paint a picture of what I have experienced.

Joe

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
