Hello Aaron.

In the 200k+ miles on my wife's '92 4rnr the tranny's never been flushed. I always just drain it w/a fresh filter and it's been working beautifully. The only problems I've ever had were related to the speed sensor. Mt. Goat (Dale) has more knowledge on a flush. Might PM him.

I always like to use Amsoil synthetic in it, but as far as I know any synthetic ATF that meets the Dex II/III will be good. Amsoil is really, really good, though.

As far as your shifting, it being low could cause the hard shift. But, also if the fluid is old. What is the color and odor of the fluid?
