$1,400? First of all are they trying to get you and the other guy to pay for their machine. These machines can be bought for under $3,000.

You never flush a transmission.
You do a fluid exchange, as others have told you.

Drop the pan and clean.
Clean or replace the filter.
Install pan and hook up up the machine to transmission lines and make sure you have at least three to four extra quarts of fluid on hand and exchange the old fluid for fresh.

The machine is really a holding tank for the new fluid and a reservoir to hold the used fluid. The fluid is transferred via the transmission internal pump.

If you do a google search on "Transmission Fluid Exchange" you will get instructions on how to do it your self.
