I was planning to have the transmission fluid changed in my Honda Accord
(maybe do it myself). Out of curiosity I called the Honda dealer to find
out how much they'd charge to do, and they said they could either just drain
and replace it (for $55) - which doesn't replace all the old fluid since
some remains trapped in the torque converter, etc, or they could do a
"power flush" (for ($140 -ikes!) which would force new fluid throughout the
whole system.

The power flush sounds better but is pretty expensive. My other thought was
to change it once, drive it for a short while (to circulate the new stuff
through) and then change it again.

But now I'm wondering whether all of this (power flush or double change) is
really over kill and a normal change would be sufficient. Any opinions on
this?

Thanks,

Pat
