"But: transmission fluid flushes? Uh uh. Flushes have been known to break crap loose that eventually clog a fluid filter, and fry the tranny."
I disagree with your comment. A tranny should not have any crap in it. If there is, it is already to late for the tranny. Most people follow mfg. suggested intervals for tranny maintenance which is mostly too late IMO. You need to check your oil often to see any discoloration and smell. If it si dark and smell gas, it is time to change it regardless of your mileage. I find Chevy's 50K interval too late. I believe this should be 30K.
I also have 05 Ford Escape, which is the easiest vehicle to work on it and I do my own flushes. I ve 85K on it and I've done 3 flushes so far.
