I worked at a Jiffy lube type of place about a month ago.


If you can change your own oil, then just change the ATF 3 times within 100 miles and you will be good to go for about 25 bucks total.

The tranny flush is very over priced for something a careful person could do with about 8 qts of fluid (<$25), two buckets , and two long rubber hoses. There is no moving parts in the tranny flush machine. Open your hood and look at your tranny from the top. You will see two hoses. If you disconnect both of them and put two long rubber hoses on them and then put each hose in a separate bucket, you'd be well on your way to being done.

Next fill one bucket with fresh fluid and leave the other empty. Start the engine and the empty bucket will start to fill with dirty fluid while the "clean" bucket will start to drain into the tranny. Have someone shift the tranny through each gear (foot on brake please) and keep going until the fluid in the dirty bucket looks clean. Don't let the intake tube run dry!
Stop everything and reconnect the right hoses and check/top of the level and your done.

That is what you are paying $100 for.

Like I said for a DIY'er the easy way is to do 3 drain and fills.
