850 transmission service

When transmission service is done on a automatic transmission 850 Is it a drain and refill or is it a flush? or niether ? also is there a transmission filter on a volvo 850 or is there a screen , that has to be replaced or cleaned out? I am not very technical and I was listening to a auto show on the radio today and they were discussing this topic.
Thank you in advance!!

    850 transmission service


    Transmission fluid should really be flushed every 20-25k. Drain and refill don't remove all the dirty and burnt-smelling, used fluid; however, flushing will--search this forum, and also check out volvospeed.com for instructions. As for transmission filter or screen, I believe neither exists in a 850 transmission.
