AAMCO's Power Purge Transmission Flush
Is AAMCO's Power Purge Transmission Flush really that different from other places? They claim they flush it 100%, while their competitors do only 75% of the work. Is it worth spending twice as much money? What do you guys recommend, AAMCO or any other place? Thanks.

2) Are you in/out of warranty?
I still only take my Maxima to Nissan for work like that. When I was "In" warranty for obvious reason but still now b/c I know a couple of mechanics.

If you change your own transmission fluid with some Redline MT-90, it's going to shift and operate smoother and lubricate better than any place you take your car to to flush the transmission, and cost you about 1/3rd the price. Also you didn't mention whether you have an auto or 5spd/6spd.

So in other words it's not worth spending $150 at AAMCO or the dealer's because anyone can do it for me, right? That was my original question.

I got the power flush from Aamco for only $99. Oh and BTW, you get a flush every year for the life of your car as long as you bring it back to the same shop. IMO its worth the $99 and you can't overlook they are transmission experts.

Aamco's power purge is no better than any other reputable trans shop. You can do it by removing a cooler line and start up the car, just add new fluid as the old gets pumped out the line into a bucket. It should pump out about a quart every 20 seconds. After about 10 quarts it should be clean. Be ready to shut it down fast in case you disconnected the wrong line.
