. The other independant recommended I either only change what's in the pan or don't change it period, stating that I may do more damage harm than good by flushing out any particles that may sort of be holding things together.


That is one person I would not take it to, he is full of bull sh*t. You do not want particles or junk in any auto tranny.I take it this is an auto also. I changed the fluids in mine every 2 years, 86 turbo 4runner. You want good fluids in it. I never flushed mine, but changed the screen each time also. I never had problems with it.
