transmition fluid change
does transmition fluid have to be flushed or can it just be drained out and new fluid added.
Is it necessary to remove all old fluid?
Can the old fluid be sucked out with a pump instead of draining under the car?

Yeah, I just had mine done and I had them change the filter and obviously gasket at the same time. I forgot how smooth this car was SUPPOSED to shift! Works great!! (Normally you don't change the filter, but it's a good friend who owns the tranny shop so I had them do it cause it was cheap), MSRP for filter - $125! My cost - $25!!! Gasket was like $40.

Honda ATF-Z1, not expensive, recommended, no thinking twice. Stock pile them! Every 12,000 miles, drain and fill, keeps it fresh and so it can go...go...and go.....

You don't normally change the filter because most of the time, it still works fine. There is nothing wrong with changing the filter. Then again, I have a friend who changes his filter and fluid at ever 3k miles. He has a legend and legends are known to have very rough shift from 1st to 2nd gear. His car is smoother than a lot of new cars. You wouldn't even be able to feel it shift unless you floor it. But hey, if his method works, I don't see why you shouldn't either (change the filter, not change every 3k)
