I don't know about the coolant flush, but the tranny can wait about another 10K. That one in actaully in the manual.

I'd have a shop do that because there is 14 quarts in the tranny and the converter. If you just lower the pan, you only get out 4 quarts. The dealer charged me $130 for it. $85 of that was just the fluid.

As for the coolant, it seems that every GM car is different. I don't mean one model to another, I'm talking each car. Your Alero is different than my Alero. I have almost 57K on my baby and I think I wanna get the coolant changed soon, but my car is almost 5 years old too. It's all gunky, and crappy inside my overflow too <_<
if you drop the pan redog there is actually 7 quarts that you have to change, assuming you have the 3400.....
