    Ok - I guess I better get flushed ASAP --
    Did you do it or the dealer - I asked he dealer and was quoted $230.
    SOme machinery they hook up and washes the inside and hen refill with fliud.
    How often this should be done?

    I had mine done at the dealer but Im sure any shop can handle the task. I forget what I paid, but its not cheap, sounds about right on the price.

    No clue on the interval, I did it cuz my tranny was taking a beating :)

    You will probably want to use a dealer. To properly measure the NAG1 fluid level, you need to hook a StarScan (dealer computer) up to the car and read the transmission temp then compare it to the Miller tool dip stick.
