- 98 5.0 EB AWD
1998 AWD 5.0 130k. I've only owned it for 2k miles or so.
Looking to get a transmission service done as per the recomendation of another board member. I called Ford today for a price as well as a standard mechanic. I got two different explanations on the services they'd perform.
Ford will do a full flush draining the converter as well as the rest of the fluid, but they don't change the filter. Cost is $129.99
Mechanic Quoted me for a fluid drain and refill as well as a filter replacement for $69.95.
Which is typical to have done? The Ford option seems best, but why wouldn't they change the filter?
