Transmission Fluid Flush?

Transmission Fluid Flush?
I recently got my oil changed at mr.lube, and the guy says my car needs to have the transmission fluid flushed. I have 37,000 miles, and was just wondering if this is around the time i should flush it? i don't have my owners manual anymore so i don’t know what infinity recommends. I know these kind of places always try and tell you that you need some extra work done to your car, but i just wanted to know if any of you have done a transmission fluid flush and at what mileage is it recommended to do so?
Thanks

Actually Infiniti does not specify and interval and claims its a Sealed unit. They list the only reason to change the fluid is if you go off roading or tow.
But I did mine at 39k it was still red, you can do it 30-50k. Depends on you really.

I was on www.maxima.org back in the day and transmission flush on auto trannys was determined to be bad, bad, bad. It's not only costly at the dealer but can ruin your seals and other internal parts.
I had my mechanic swap out my fluids on my manual G at 30K.
I also own a 2K SE Maxima and have religiously had my transmissions fluid drained and filled every 30K. The car is at 251K and not a single tranny problem. Now the engine, that's an entirely different story.

+1...i'd always been told by more-qualified folk that u drain & refill at the manufacturer's suggested interval, and u flush ONLY when there's a problem!

I changed my transmission and differential after like 20k miles. I had 5th gear grind thats why I changed it. No gear grinding now. Also shifting is like twice as smooth as before and I love it! I used Amsoil instead though. You don't really need to take it to no Mr.lube just do it yourself it's very easy.
