146k miles before mine died and then I swapped in my mtx. Great thing is I gain a gear, gas milage, acceleration, and it shifts into any gear I want it to

Its not a good idea if you're experiencing problems on a high-mileage ATX that hasn't been flushed recently, if at all. If a flush is done as a part of regular maintenance and not after 80,000 miles of abuse, it is definitely a good thing (tm).

the dirt and grime that scores also seals and a flush may loosen that dirt revealing the scores that create small leaks within an ATX
