Transmission Flush

[KimKinDG]

Hello, new to this forum & need some advice for my 2020 ST. Almost at 70K miles, is a flush needed? Occasionally on highway when accelerating feels like hitting rev limiter and RPM's not at 5,000.

Not a fan of flush on any vehicle. In your case I would suggest a double drain and fill. Drop pan, reinstall,fill with fluid. Drive around for 15 minutes then do it again. Fresh fluid should help but if it’s slipping bad it won’t fix it.

I would never do a transmission flush. Best way to do it is to do a full pan drop and filter change. You are due for it I would say.

This is one of the things I do at the dealer. Did my F150 transmission, front and rear diffs, and transfer case at 50k and 100k at the dealer. Cost wasn't terrible, and it's peace of mind. Will do the same with this one.
