Over on explorerforum.com, they have a sticky thread about this in the transmission section.
yeah, but how much of that issue is caused by restricted flow of atf in the trans, which may, or may not be due to a dirty filter? either way, i think we would all agree that changing the filter won't hurt the transmission (though i do agree with you on the full flush)
except that the clean fluid is going to pull crap out much better than dirty fluidEvery 30k they get replaced and I clean the magnet.
I figure if people can get 100-150k out of a trans by not touching it, changing the couple quarts at a time and filter should be an improvement.
The "flushes" I have have checked into basically just use the transmission pump to move the old fluid out and suck in fresh... so it wouldn't really do anything more than it would normally as far as flushing out passages.
