I had a blow out and the tire shop that iis going to change my tire tomorrow said they do tranny flushes too. i really need one bad and they quoted my $170 for that becuse they said thatford uses a special fluid that is more expensive. does that seem kind of steep? and theny also quoted me $90 for a reardiff. fluid change.

 

$170?!?! They promise to lube that up before you bend over and take it up the tailpipe? Go find a different shop. You can use any Mercon V ATF production for your fluid. The place I go to here, which is very reputable, charged $75 for either a flush through the cooler or to drop the pan and change the filter.

 

heh.. ford using special anything in our cars.. lmfao=P

it should cost anywhere from 50-90

 

RIPPPPPPOOOOOOOOOOOOOFFFFFFF!!!!

 

they have places that specalize in trannys for a reason....i.e. cottsman and aamco

 

Wow man that's pretty rough. Changing tranny fluid takes about 15 minutes, and cost 4 quarts of synchro mesh. I changed my diff fluid today. Piece of cake. Can't believe people pay that much money when you can do both in an hour with about $20-$30.

 

is there any signs that your fluid needs changed on a 5 speed? im think mine is low and needs flushed
