I don't know about that. All flushing does is replace the old with the new. I've heard about problems with leaks when changing fluid types. I flushed out my 175K transmission with synthetic and all is fine. That was 50K ago and I tow about 10% if the time (about 6K a year towing).

I put in a shift kit over 100K ago and all has always been fine with the transmission.
