Just got a coupon in the mail today from one of the tranny specialists just down the street. For $34.97 I would get:
-Road Test
-Band & Linkage Adjustment
-Check for Leaks
-New fluid and clean filter
-Replace pan gasket

(Reg $70.00)

Does this sound like a good deal? And does their "replace pan gasket" terminology basically just sound like dropping the pan and cleaning it out? I am going to call them to see if they will accept my own fluid for the change as well. Thanks.

 

Dealer charges about same for tranny fluid change with Nissan fluid.

 

For full flush it's a great deal. If it's only drain and fill I wouldn't bother with it.

 

Okay, so apparently they would drop and clean the pan with that deal, so I guess I will buy some Mobil 1 ATF and have them use it for the flush.

 

Its a drop the pan change gasket, probably don't bother cleaning it up- kinda deal. And as far as them putting your own ATF in.... I would like to watch them do it. Since Maximas have a bolt on the bottom of the tranny pan, I seen some shops "service" the tranny by just draining the tranny from there. Then filling up the tranny via dip stick hole. I would just flush the tranny, chances are the "new" tranny gasket they will install is going to leak.
