   The only time I have ever had anything done with transmission fluid was I had   
   to get a flush after my radiator failed and allowed the antifreeze to mix with   
   the transmission fluid.  Even after the flush, the transmission fluid was not   
   perfect in red color.     
      
   I have heard two schools of thought on the tranmission fluid flush/drains.   
   Some people swear that not doing either is the best.  Not sure there is a   
   right answer.   
      
   Never heard of replacing brake fluid.
