I'd like to hear from those who have had just a pan drop and drain versus a full flush. Has anyone had problems with the full flush on a high mileage vehicle?
I want to get mine changed this spring/summer and not sure which I should have done.

We alternate between a drain and fill and a full flush every 30k. My wife's '04 is now at 113+k and the next tranny service will be a full flush. I could understand that way of thinking if you didn't do regular maintenance and there could be a lot of crud in there, but if you've done regular maintenance I wouldn't worry about it. If you don't do a full flush you'll never change all of the tranny fluid because a drain and fill leaves a lot of older fluid in the tranny.
