Just had my 7AT flushed today. Cost me $220 for a full flush, not just a drain and fill. All the talk about this not needing to be done till 100k miles, I almost just passed on it. I am glad I went ahead with it though. The car has 37k miles and the fluid was pretty dirty. No track use, just some spirited canyon runs on occasion. For me, it was worth the piece of mind. Now I know it is clean and it shifts a little smoother when moving between low gears.

...also, I was told that it is normal for the trans oil in 370 Z's to turn real dark after a few thousand miles. Not sure if that's true or not? But, mine is bright cherry red for now.
