Said it flushses forward and backward flow and removes all debris.
Also said it will clean out the valve body. ?? Does that make sense ??

Van, I have 20+ years experience overhauling Dodge tranny's at a dealership. A flush will not clean the valve body. Your best bet is to have a transmission tech. at the dealership remove the pan and take a look inside. He should be able to tell if there is internal damage by what is found in the pan and filter. A flush is a maintainance thing and will most likely not fix a problem. A plugged filter ,on the other hand ,could be causing a problem, I hope for your sake, but the pan must be removed to see that. Good luck. Let me know if you need any advice.
