I have 70k miles on it and it's my DD plus I don't race it or anything.
Thank you for helping me with this question.

I have and never will flush a transmission. A fluid/filter change will suffice.

I'm assuming you have an automatic, because the manual transmission doesn't have a filter. Nothing wrong with a flush if it's done by a competent professional shop, but a drain and fill will work just fine if done periodically.

How often am I suppose to change the transmission fluid,filter and gasket?
By the way thanks for the advice too

If your car has an owners manual. ...it will tell you the suggested intervals. They claim the autos are good for 100k......but , as always, depends on how hard you drive it. For me....every 50k.
