i wouldn't trust any type of flush for either the transmission or the engine. there can be some very adverse effects on sealed parts and future oil/fluid integrity.

Don't have it flushed, just have the fluid changed if it's time. You did not mention history or milage on your car.

If it's been awhile do the 3x3 change. Use 3 quarts of OEM fluid 3 times in a row. You can research all info on it in the 3G garage. If you feel that you don't need to do a 3x3 change then you can do a regular 3 quart change every 15k-20k miles. <<That's my preference and I'm going 102k miles strong. I also replaced my pressure switches at 100k miles so that's your call on those.
