What mileage should I get a transmission flush? or change fluid?

I have a 2000 accord v4 right now is 43000 miles, everything is fine should I change get a transmission flush & fluid because at my last oil change the Honda dealer advisor said that I should change it & a whole bunch of other staff. I really don't trust him. And I don't know anything about cars. Will it harm my transmission if everthing is fine now. I know u guys are experts please help??

Honda automatics don't like power-flushing. Do a drain & fill instead. I bet that's what the dealer means when he says 'change' the fluid.

BTW, I bet you don't have a V-4...
