OK, I normally don't do tranny flushes myself because I don't have a
machine to do it.
But, my buddy is asking me to do it and I'm thinking now might be a good
time to buy a machine. Here are my questions...
At about $170 per fluid flush, a machine is paid for after four or five
jobs, so I can justify the cost.
Anyone know of good machines to get, brands to stay away from? Are they
types or styles that work better/worst? (remember, I know nothing about
these machines.)
A few of the posts I've been reading elsewhere mentioned that some cars
advise AGAINST using the machines. They say to just drain, refill, drive
a little bit and repeat. Is there a reason to NOT use a machine to flush
it?
Finally, my buddy's 2003 Honda Accord needs a change and he is getting a
mechanic that is telling him all that he needs is a drain and refill. He
is willing to pay me to do the change, which would put me $170 closer to
having this machine paid for, but if it only needs a drain/refill, I can't
justify the machine.
What is the deal with Honda Accords?
Thanks!
