Is a transmission flush safe on a ford focus 2000 lx that has 150000 miles on it?
Risky. Are you prepared to pay $2,800 to get it rebuilt if it dies?

I would never flush a transmission.
Also don't forget to search this on Google.
I've learned that if you get your transmission flushed regularly you are good. But if you have never done it and you flush it, you could cause a bunch of problems since all your components won't be used to being in clean trans oil. (cause slipping, etc.)
- Transmission fluid change or flush or both (1997 Ford Taurus GL)? I just got a 1997 Ford Taurus GL with over 133000 miles. The car is in pretty good shape but when I shift gears it shifts kind of hard. I have no idea if the trans has ever been serviced but my guess is that it need to be. Would you recommend just draining the pan, changing the filter and gasket and replenishing the fluid or should I do a flush? Not a power flush. Just using an extension hose to drain the old fluid and add new fluid. Or do you recommend both? If so, in what order?
- Is it safe to buy a ford with 150,000 miles? I'm in the market for my first car and I found a 2012 Ford Focus with 150,000 miles for $5000. The owner says they've never had any problems with it. Is it a good idea to buy a ford with 150,000 miles? Am I going to have to spend a lot on repairs? How much longer is it going to last?
- 2012 Ford Focus Engine Coolant Flush? I had topped off my Focus's engine coolant because it was below the min line, and after a little reading, I found that mixing universal with my dexcool wasn't a good idea. One mechanic said it'll be okay, but I decided to get it flushed. After a rather quick service it was done but I believe he just drained the radiator, and refilled it with dexcool. My question is, was that all I needed or did it need to be more extensive to get rid of the risk of my engine seizing up?
- Safe to buy a truck with high miles and repair it? I was just wondering if it would be a good idea to buy a 2007 ford f150 with 233,000 miles for only $6,000 and just save up enough money for a new engine ($3,000-4,000 more dollars) when it goes out and have a pretty new truck with a new engine. It's a very clean truck in EXCELLENT condition, it just has a lot of miles. Or is this just a really bad idea? I attached a picture of the truck.
