It's sorta like tossing the dice. My ATX was fine before the flush, and bear in mind this was my second scheduled flush. Scary thing is, even the dealership who performed the proceedure said it was a risky thing to do to any car. This was after my car started sounding like a coffee grinder!
The flush will churn up any dirt in the case and torque convertor. That's what happened to me. BTW, I flushed my old '91 Nissan Maxima's ATX which was running fine back in '99. Immediately after the flush I had to repair a blown servo seal. The tranny was pouring fluid onto my garage floor. 10K miles later I rebuilt it. I should have learned my lesson. Don't learn the way I did... drain and fill,
DON'T FLUSH!
