I have a 2008 Jeep Wrangler I bought new back in Feb of 08. I know this TSB is for a 2007 Wrangler, however, the systems that were experienced for this problem are the exact ones I'm experiencing. Could it be that it applies to my Jeep as well? Also, how do I find out what transmission my Jeep has? If anyone has had similar problems with their 2008 or any input I'd really appreciate it. Thanks

Not excessive at all for your kind of driving.
I would say a fluid and filter change is enough, though, providing the fluid is always bright red and doesn't smell burnt. I'll bet a flush is a lot more expensive. People have had bad luck with flushes.
Now that you have driven it since the flush, warm it up and check the fluid level. They may have been in a hurry when they filled it.
