I was at a local shop today...he's been there at least 15 years.
Got to talking about fluids, both oil and tranny.
Oil, he swears by Mobil 1 synthetic.....that I know.
We started talking about transmission fluids. I told him I heard (which I did) that if you dont have transmission problems, leave tranny alone.....he disagreed, he said it needs to be changed at every 30,000. I asked about the stories that dropping the pan was bad.....
He said that he doesn't open the pan...that a machine is used. It uses a tranny cleaner, cleans the trans, and the filter. A bladder pushes out all the old fluid, and injects new fluid. He also said synthetic fluid is the way to go.
He said this should be done every 30,000, and charges about $170.
Anyone fill me in on this?? Good/bad??? how the price??
