Transmission fluid change Options

[HaysoosKreesto]

Well, after a while of putting it off, I finally have some spare cash to change out the fluid.

According to some local shop's I've been calling, some of them do full flushes w/o cleaning the pan or changing the filter, some wouldn't even recommend a flush at all but instead cleaning the pan, new filter and new fluid, letting it run, then doing it again.

What would be the best way to make sure my car is safe? Should I go, new filter new fluid and clean pan? Or should I go flush and hope that any gunk just goes away? All the prices seem to be around the same ($110 - $150~) so I'm just looking for the best option for my car. Any thoughts?

drain-clean pan-clean filter-refill tranny oil. the filter is actually a fine stainless mesh, no need to replace it unless its broken. some tranny models however does have throw away filters, but i don't think it is the case with celi tranny.

at least this is how i do it with my cars with a/t tranny.

now if you have a tranny dialysis machine that would be perfect.
