Message: <blockquote data-quote="astroboy" data-source="post: 272031" data-attributes="member: 4527">Some said flushing is using pressurised new ATF into gearbox to force old ATF out of the torque converter and its not recommended for old gearbox as it will damage the seals.Toyota is charging RM250 just for the flushing cost.. ATF count separately.. it needs about 10 - 12 Litres of ATF for a complete 2 phase flush.. u do the math..The foreman will recommend flushing and they will tell u replacing ATF without flushing is like brush teeth without rinsing your mouth. So I guess engine oil also need to be flushed on every oil change huh.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> But that is not so bad la because in the gearbox, I think more than 10% ATF is left behind in the torque converter..or u all can do the famous planta trick.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> remove the gearbox and "tuang" the torque converter ATF out.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> It should not cost u more than RM500 in labor to do that.. right planta?! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
