Flush trans ?

97 f250 460 auto / Trans went out just before 100k, had the ford store put a new one in and it's got about 6k on it now
Do you thing a flush would be a good idea? If there is any benefits I will have it done
Should be plenty broke in by now

Mike

It won't hurt a thing but I think it not necessary. If it would give you peace of mind then have it done.

No reason to flush it at that low of a mileage.

other than for piece of mind, i would wait until you put closer to 30,000 miles on it.
that is the recommended service interval, 30 to 35 k miles.

Ok thanks I'll pass for now (probably just saved me $150). Kind of an old schooler here
I got a new SHO 10,000 mi ago / changed the motor oil 1st 500 mi and less than 3000 each time sense, still want to flush everything out in the car and all my ford tech friends keep talking me out of it also
