    $25 eh? Sounds like it might be a good project to go along with the transfluid temp guage sender unit.

    BG flush

    I had my local shop first drop the pan and replace the filter. Then they did the full BG flush. All for a low $160. I plan to repeat this after another 30K. The VX is running great, i can't feel much of a difference but its good to do the tranny maintenance than paying $3500 for replacing one

    BTW, there are two types of flush but i couldn't find the better one locally. Read this to learn more:

    Wow, $160 to drop the pan and change the filter AND a flush?! You might want to double check and see if the bolts on the crossmember that support the tranny look like they have been undone recently as they have to come off to get to the pan.

    Well, i actually saw them drop the pan infront of me, change the filter, put it back together and then do the machine flush. It was an amazing deal, i was surprised too
