Not recommended to do ATF flushing due to the following reason:

a) Most shops uses a machine to flush ATF fluid. The machine had gone through many cars and metal shavings could be caught inside the machine and transfer into your car's AT gearbox.

b) By flushing out all the old fluids, it might cause slippage on your old transmission.

I strong suggest you just remove the transmission oil pan, replace the AT filter then fill your car up with fresh fluids up till the acceptable level.

300k... in this case flushing wouldn't help much in extending the AT components' life. Wear and tear is inevitable, just like human you can maintain healthy lifestyle and vitamin to extend your life, but still time is always there waiting...
just do usual ATF change and standby money for emergency AT replacement purpose instead?

Flush at your own risk,
you might remove the clutch particle in the fluid and might cause clutch to slip.
Keyword: Might.
Is a high risk, low reward.

the modern automatic transmission is made of a labyrinth of valves and tubes. and these are oiled in from manufacturing.

when we do normal atf change, these valves are not disturbed hence not having problems and it's very small tubes, if there are sediments caught in it ur transmission would have failed already. So just doing the normal filter change is valid.

Not saying total ATF flush is bad, but you really do have to get someone that has a really good machine that is assured to replace the atf by balancing the input and output flow to not affect the valves. But as everyone puts it here, it's a risk to actually find someone that can be assured to do that.

Choice is still up to you. Information has been given. Choose wisely.

Yes you should. Myvi have an ATF filter inside gearbox. You can change it by removing the ATF pan.
