[QUOTE="Bugsiegel, post: 1031327, member: 69993"] Just did this. Had the dealer change just the oil in the trans pan, change the filter and while you are in there....change the leaky bulkhead. $250-ish. For me, no need to powerflush my trans and rinse it with detergents. I stay away from all that because the first trans fluid change was not till 150K miles. I know not all the fluid is drained with just a pan change but I'll take that. Trans is running good and so no need to get in too deep. When it comes to the transmission fluid change, I lean towards the dealer. Just to paranoid that an outside mechanic will use the wrong fluid. Probably the only thing I do at the dealer. I've only done it twice now. I'm approaching 200K [/QUOTE]
