Just pop the drain plug under the car and let all that brown goodness drain from the tranny.
It is not recommended to "flush" our tranny. Just a simple drain and fill.

Thanks a lot to both of you! I just got off the phone with an Acura dealership and they told be the same thing. I was about to get ripped off by an AAMCO shop, they told me i need to replace some gaskets and it will cost me lot of $$$

you can do it yourself, its just like changing the oil. Pull the plug, let the 3.somethign quarts come out, put the drain plug in and fill er back up.
