Not really. They will check your transmission fluid and change all the fluid in the pan not the torque converter. If your fluid is bad then they will know it when they check your fluid and flushing it won't help at that point. Flushing can be a very bad thing if they put a cleaner and or conditioner in your transmission. Just get the normal service and do it every 30K miles. You only have 45K on your car now, and 60K would be a normal service interval that is not extreme. You should be fine with a standard service - they drop the pan check/change the filter element (it either has a metal screen or a filter) either way they determine the condition of the transmission and then they fill it back up with fluid. I would not want some shop that I don't know flushing the fluid in my transmission. JMHO

Now, if fluid looks brownish, you won't have a choice but to flush the fluid, and ASAP. Tell dealer to do it at the lowest pressure possible to prevent damage. And yes, they might have to get in there as well. Good luck, and keep us posted.
