Hey Guys!

Booked my car in for a trany mount replacement and trany fluid flush. Learnt 2 new things. The trany only has 1 mount (thought it had 2) and S&LC will not completely flush the trany fluid using the cooler lines.

They will only drain pan, clean filter, and re-seal it. According to the guy I spoke with, this will get rid of about 4L of the 8L the trany system has. I thought you guys said it was about 2L or so.

All up im up for $340. Does that sound right fellas? What trany fluid do they use for V8's.
Cant remember the name of the guy I spoke with. A lady first picked up the phone and then was passed on to the gentleman that booked me in. Does all this sound resnoble???

$340 sounds a bit steep for a tranny service. I had mine done a month ago for $150. Most tranny specialists would be able to do it cheaper. My advise is to ring around.

340 does sound steep for a flush... and I would be flushing the whole lot....

I think Louis is saying he is also getting the tranny mount replaced for the $340....

Yeh thats right. Its the trany mounts and the trany fluid flush. I just thought it was a bit strange that they dont fully flush the fluid.

Im also hoping that they are some of the few service people to use the right trany fluid.

if you're looking for a tranny guy who knows soarers ask for dave at kewish auto's. He specialises in soarer trannys and is very reasonable. He did my solenoid + tranny flush for $330.
