C5 TRANSMISSION/flush or change
Hey guys, am considering servicing the auto tranny on my C-5. Has anyone done the comparsion of "flush vs pan drop" ? I've been quoted $260 on the flush with 16 Qts of fluid included.

I had both done
Long story short. I had the flush, then had the pan dropped because I had an independent third party look at my car on a lift. Looked like it was leaking, took it back and stealer said it was from a previous chnage and it was residual fluid and not leaking.
$300 later for both, the pan is so clean you could eat off of it. AND it doesn't stutter anymore when I open the throttle. So I guess it worked.
I asked for pictures the second time!
