BGs Trans Flush... Could it Be???

SO Monday while I was at the specialist, We had dropped the truck off for new tires in the rear, and on a whim I told them to do a BGs Trans flush. The fluid was 125,000 miles old and I figured it wasn't gonna help since the trans has beed acting up a bit, making a high pitched noise once in a while for just a second... Shifting at funny times, and slipping once in a while. I picked the truck up and noticed the trans shifting much firmer, and more precise, no noise, no slipping. I've driven it for 3 days in rush hour traffic and with a heavy foot and it seems to doing GREAT!

 

Can it be that a simple trans flush sucked out whatever the offending matter was?

Mike :shock:

Mike,

Tranny fluid does a lot, so if it's bad, a lot doesn't work. When the fluid is old and contaminated, it foams up easily, thereby losing pressure and it's ability to pull heat away from the tranny. Yeah, many times a batch of new fluid will make a world of difference!

Tim, I realize it matters, but to illustrate the significant difference in performance, I was ready to replace the trans earlier this month... This is NOT the same tranny... I'll be doing this every 50K miles from here on out!

Have you ever looked at the valve body of an automatic? It is an extraordinary complex set of passages, orifices, check valves and black magic. One little ball of crud somewhere in that mouse maze could stop the whole works! Ignore the spray gun in the picture below :-D
