I am taking my ST in on Saturday to get the transmission flushed at the dealer. I have a coupon from them and they will do it for $129.00. Seems about right as I have seen others get it done for more and some for a little less. My ST has around 38,000 miles on it now and I was wondering about the coolant. They also have a special running where they will flush the coolant and add up to 1 gallon of new coolant for $69.99. Is this a good deal? It seems like to flush the coolant, even at a 50/50 mix, I would need more coolant than 1 gallon. Is it better to have the dealer do this than to do it myself? I mean I know I can drain the radiator and then fill it back with coolant, but I am thinking that a dealer doing a flush would be more effective. (I also know that I would have to use the "gold" antifreeze because that is what is in there now) I have seen some kind of gunky kind of stuff near the cap of the radiator. Not a lot, and not rust by no means, but just a little stuff. I appreciate any and all responses. Thanks!</p></blockquote><p></p>
