Default Trans flush at 30k?????

Everyone tells me that no matter what that i should get a Trans flush every 30,000 miles because its an Auto.....? I just hit 30k on my 03 gt and wondering if i should get a Trans flush even though there is no problems.

A lot has to do with drving conditions, towing, long drives on hot days ect., but 35 K is a little early. I would say 65 ishon give or take. maybee a truck that towed everyday might want to do every 35 but not a DD mustang

30k is the recommended interval, proper maintenance will extend the lifespan of your trans

even if there is no problems its a good idea because if you wait to long and the fluid gets dirty it doesnt clean anymore and grime will build up on your seals then when you do decide to doa flush the detergents in the new atf will clean the grime off the seals and alot of time the grime is what is what is sealing the trans up from leaking. thats why if you stay on top of it at every 30k the seals will stay in good shape and you wont have to worry about leaks.
