Dealer will do a tranny flush using BG machine and BG fluid. I've looked at several threads but haven't found a firm answer to this:
Why would you do a machine flush and not drop the pan (inspect) and replace the filter?
Dealer says they don't drop the pan. I'm willing to pay the $ for the parts and labor so I'm going to push them on it. I want to see the inside of the pan. Filter change just seems like a good thing. I can ask for the mercon-V
Just dropping the pan gets about 4/5 quarts of the 12 out. Also, I think there is tranny cooler line filter that can be replaced (FT142 or 184).
