While a flush might be great, you still leave the magnet, which can be considered a type of filter. The magnet will trap magnetic particles. Once the particles are traped, they are no longer suspended in the fluid. Change 200% of the fluid, and your magnet is still saturated with metallic particles. Once you have the system flushed, the new particles produced from the wearing of the clutch bands have nothing to stick to because the old particles are still on the magnet.In theory, the best of both worlds would be to have the tranny flushed, pull the pan, replace filter, clean magnet, put the pan back on, and fill it back up with the proper fluid.Tom</blockquote>
