I'd definitely flush it, but not with Mobil 1. The added expense of the synthetic multiplied by 12 quarts is unneccesary, IMO.

What I would do instead, is add half a bottle of Trans-Medic to the existing fluid, drive the car around for a couple of days, flush it with conventional fluid including changing the filter, and add the other half-bottle of Trans-Medic. If indeed it's a matter of stuck valves, this stands a good chance of helping.
