Mechanics recommend a transmission fluid flush approximately every 40,000-60,000 miles. Then clean, brand-new fluid is added, allowing your transmission to run more efficiently. To perform a flush, a mechanic will drain the old transmission fluid entirely from transmission + from the torque converter and valve body. This is especially beneficial if you have contaminated transmission fluid, as the contamination will spread to the new transmission fluid in a fluid change. Whereas a transmission fluid change only exchanges some old fluid for new fluid, a flush completely rids your transmission of old fluid. Generally, transmission fluid changes are done in increments whereas flushes are done at milestones like 40,000 and 70,000 miles. A fluid change will not completely swap out the old fluid for new, clean fluid, but it will help your transmission run better.
This service helps remove a large portion of the buildup, but up to half can linger in your vehicle's transmission. In a fluid change, a large amount of the transmission fluid is drained from the machinery, and the transmission filter is then replaced. A fluid change is the most common type of transmission service.
