transmission flush?

I have a 65,000 mileage 2006 MCS aisin automatic and was wondering if i should do a transmission flush. I want to prevent running into transmission problems which would cost a lot. Do you think this is a wise choice? Thank you.

Don't see any reason not to do it.

We just did a change this week on a car that had harsh shifting. I used the Redline D4 fluid and the customer called me 2 days later to tell me the car was working so much better and shifting fine. So it may not be a bad idea to do it early.
