I'm flushing my transmission right now
okay not actually flushing it but i just changed the atf.
should i drain and fill again after 1000 miles? i want to do 3 drain and fills to get a clean flush but i dont know the intervals in doing so.
thanks.

Re: I'm flushing my transmission right now
You don't have to go 1000 miles. You only need to cirulate the new fluid with the old, which should be done within 5 miles. Make sure the transmission shifts through every gear, including reverse, a few times, and you should be ready for the second drain and fill. What condition was the fluid in, when you drained the first 3 quarts? If the fluid was dark, and the magnet (on the drain plug) was a blob of metal, yes I would do it again.
