MMmm tranny flush
Just had one done down at a nice clean reputable local lube shop. The manager himself did the flush lol. Said the car looks to be in excellent shape for the year, and the fact that it only has 98500 miles is even better. He flushed 13 quarts of fluid through it, the old stuff was dark red. At idle befor the flush, it only had 30lbs of pressure, after the flush it was around 38-39, im assuming all this is a good sign after some nice regular maintence. He also asked me who washed the engine so well, he said it looked like new, i said, oh that was just me lol, take some armorall and degreaser and go nuts, also complimented on my choice of battery lol.
Hopefully all is good here on in.

Hopefully your tranny won't follow suit and live a short life after a flush on a higher mileage/older car.
I've thought about getting one on my 99, but am not going to since it has 98,000. I don't want to risk killing it!

If you haven't flushed the coolant it'* OK if it was missed the first time around. You can do it anytime...but preventative maintenance is ideal.
Transmission. If you don't do it on a regular preventative schedule (every 40-50K), then don't bother if you missed the boat the first time. You'll do more damage in the end...AKA most likely catastrophic failure!
