transmission flush or drop and fill? 05 malibu.
In a vehicle over 50k miles with no prior flush, many technicians suggest dropping the pan instead of a flush- they beleive the flush exposes the tranmission to failure after the flush.
For me-neither flush or dropping the pan. I do a systmatic siphon of trans fluid out of the trans dip stick three times over a two week period. Very simple and easy on everything. One issue with my method would be if the filter is clogged.

on my 03 monte i had the flush and filter at 70 and 130-140 and sold it at over 170 and never had a trans issue
my 98 bonnie i did pan drop and filter at about 70 and 140 and it went at about 155.

i did a drop and fill at 50k(bought the car brand new) just thought a flush would be a good idea but i will end up doing another drop and fill and also the coolant and brake fluid. car has 100k now.
