I have a 2007 Chevy Equinox with 55k miles on it. It was recommended by my service rep to get the transmission flushed. Can I just drain out the transmission fluid or is it best to use the machine to get out all of the transmission fluid?
It is best to flush the fluid this gets the fluid out of the torque converter.This transmission uses special fluid tpye t-Iv gm # 88900925 do not use dexron fluid in this transmission.
Does the transmission work o.k.? if it does i would recomend just a filer change and fresh fluid...if something major is wrong with the transmision you will see a lot of metel chips in the drain pan...55k is not a lot of mileage on the transmission unless you tow vehilces a lot and do a lot of city driving ...seems like they just want your money.
How do I flush 07 uplander Transmission fluid.

I'm not certain exactly how much fluid the machine actually removes. Likely it would be fine if you just replaced it the usual way. Don't let it go another 50k though, change at least at 30K or even a bit earlier.
