The problem with a trans flush is that ANY small metal particles can get dislodged and clog some small passages. Most people and mechanics will mix the two. If the trans had been rebuilt, then you wouldn't have to worry about a flush. Some converters do have a drain plug, which make it easier when trying to clean out as much as possible of the old fluid.
Ford used to offer a trans cover with a drain plug, but no one seems to have one. You will have to go to the aftermarket to find one with a drain. And the same with the diff cover.
