A transmission shop will use a machine to 'flush' the ATF. NEVER allow a machine to do the flush, he is correct as the pressure is too high for the transmission and will move sludge to the clutch packs and destroy the internal seals.
Drain and fill works quite nicely. So does using the car's engine to do a flush, which you can do at home. If you drain and fill, two or 3 times, it works just as well as using the car's engine to do a flush.
As for the adaptation process, removing the transmission computer or disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes will accomplish that. It will take about 2-3 days of normal driving for the adaption to complete.
A 'light' flare at 300Km (200K mi), is not terrible. I suggest the battery disconnect and see what happens before running out and investing in a B4 servo.
