I need a transmission flush or service but I am getting conflicting information 900

Hi all,
I have a 1994 940 wagon that I was told by my mechanic should have a transmission flush. The car has about 69K miles and I bought it with about 63K miles, so I am the second owner. I don't what sort of tranny service the car got prior to my owning it.

I recently had the fluid drained and refilled, but my mechanic said that this is not good enough. He does a service where he hooks a machine up to the cooler lines and does the "flush".

I called another transmission service place and they said that they don't do flushes and they don't recommend it. They said something about it damaging the clutch. They do a "service" where they drain and refill the fluids and clean out the pan and change filters.

So basically I am a little confused by the conflicting information. What do you recommend I do??

Many thanks!
