Is it obedient to, do a Transmission Flush on a saloon?

I have Toyota Solara Automatic year 2000 and be wondering if a Transmission flush is necessary?When do you hold to do it? Whats the average cost for it? Or is it not necesaary?They told it has to be done at 30,000 miles but I be skeptical when the mechanic told me so any advice would be great....Also what nearly a "GAS filter" is it necesarry and when?how much does it cost aslo..

Is it better to bathe the vehicle...



Answers:    Opinions vary on nouns flush... Some people say it stirs up all the jetsam, shavings and deposits in the tranny and can ruin it.. Some others right to be heard it's a great way to preserve your tranny healthy and verbs. However, what is clear is that you do need to bring back the transmission fluid at most minuscule changed periodically since your Solara has an automatic tranny.

Automatic trannies usually use a torque converter which utilizes the fluid beneath hydraulic pressure (in a pump-stator-turbine arrangement) to transmit torque from the engine to the drivetrain. Power transmission using such a fluid coupling generate heat, which is why the automatic nouns fluid gets really hot. Prolonged heat causes the tranny fluid to break down over time, which is why for automatic transmissions the fluid should be changed just about every 30,000 miles, more often if the motor is used to tow or haul fatty loads.

Some of the newer cars like the Nissans use a belt-and-pulley CVT nouns, and I hear that the fluid in those call for to be changed even more often to prevent the friction belts from wearing out.

I'm fortunate within that my car is a Toyota Prius, which uses a Power Split Device transmission-- It have just one planetary gearset, no gear-shifting, no clutch, no torque converter, no CVT belt. This simplicity make the PSD transmission exceptionally tough and exceptionally reliable. I only own to change tranny fluid once every 60,000 miles. :-)
