transmission
 

I have a 02 screw, what are the thoughts on power flushing my trans.

mileage and maintenance???

125000 miles
Just bought in July. I am in process of doing a total service on it. Changing all fluids over to full synthetic, already put a CAI on it, looking into rotors and pads also.

If it were my truck I would have it flushed, then I would drop the pan and change the filter. More steps I know but I think it's worth it..

never ever flush a transmission, it causes more harm then good. a fluid exchange is what your looking for, where they replace 100% of the fluid. also a filter change would be worth it.

That sounds like a great idea. I know it's off topic but how much of a pain are the spark plugs and coil packs to change.

There are quite a few pages of info you can find here about that- They are a pain but once you do it a few times you figure out a pretty good system.. You will need several different extensions of different lengths and swivel sockets.. Do yourself a favor and call mike dunn at madenterprise and order his cop bolts- they make the job much easier the next time..

Use Motorcraft plugs, do NOT use antiseize, and torque them to 28 ft/lb.

Get a fluid exchange with a machine, not a power flush. This is done with the engine running to run the trans pump to pump out the old fluid and draw the fresh fluid in. A power flush uses the machine to pump the fluid, not good.

Ooor the other option- Drop the pan, throw it in the trash and buy an aftermarket one with a drain plug. Then call Darrin Burch @ BC automotive and have him hook you up with a sweet new torque converter and valve body.. Install new parts, refill trans with amsoil atf, and never look back :thumbsup: this is what I did.. haha
