So, I have 7000 miles to decide if I replace the transmission filter, which I'm told is recommended at 150K. My mechanic said if I'm going to keep the car for a while, do it...otherwise just do the fluid.
Apparently getting to the transmission pan is a major effort involving jacking up the engine (?), disconnecting some suspension/drive train components, and dropping the exhaust system...all of that to get access to the tranny pan which usually has to be replaced, along with anything that breaks while you are disconnecting all the other things. Says it is about a $1000 job.
Thoughts on this one?
