[QUOTE="71buickfreak, post: 2082140, member: 8373"] Don't flush the trans, just drain and refill. You can swap the filter if you want, 50K is nothing for a trans filter. You should flush the radiator, Electrolysis leaches metal away from the aluminum base materials and iron components rust. You don't have to do it, but if you do it in your driveway it's cheap. Every trans shop in the country will likely tell you that flushing an old trans with lots of miles on it can kill it. It washes away the varnish and other gunk that is likely holding your transmission together. 50K is not a big deal, you could get away with flushing, but there is no reason for it. [/QUOTE]
