What is involved with flushing the tranny fluid?
Does it require removal of the oil pan or anything else?
What is the proceedure?
The reason I ask is because my very negative father is telling me if it involves removing the oil pan, basically I'm fucked and my car will leak oil from then on and never be right again, so it's better to not have the tranny fluid flushed. And while I know he's just being negative, I want to know what IS involved with flushing it.
Thanks.

It does not involve removing the oil pan. Basically they hook up a machine to your tranny and run new fliud through it several times, flushing out the old stuff. Then, they refill with fresh ATF.

The machine doesn't fit because we don't have any outside lines, I tried this. The correct FLUSH procedure per "JENS and Acura Service" is to 1) drain put in two qts, run 3-5 minutes. 2) repeat "1" three times, final fill is 2.75 qt. The fill plug is on top of the trans and is marked "ATF"; makes this job easy. I did it in 1 hr and the 9 qts of oil cost me around $48. Remember use only "Honda Z1" atf. I contacted a synthetic oil company (Amsoil) and their engineering dept said use only HONDA ATF. Good enough for me considering they invented synthetic oil for autos.
