[AT] Fluid flushing auto - OT

[carl gogol]

Just looking for opinions on fluid flushing.  Had my Impala serviced 
yesterday and the writer noted that it was approaching 30K miles and said 
that the recommended procedure for the tranny was to flush between 30 - 60 K 
miles.  This seemed normal to me and I told him I would do it sometime in 
the future - I'm thinking about 50 K miles.  When I picked up the car he 
also pushed me to have the brake fluid and powersteering fluids serviced at 
the same time.  Is this normal - worth doing - or just another way to 
generate cash for the dealer?  I have not seen this dealer push unnecessary 
services before - just a newrt  car thing or a good idea to do anyway?
