Default Transmission Service - Brisbane options

Hi guys,

This goes out to Brisbane members mainly but any recommendations will be welcomed.

I am looking to get the transmission serviced and was seeking out options in the Brissie area (southwest preferred). Just want a basic service - fluid/filter change . Not one of those 'power flush' options.

Will be making calls this week but any heads up with estimates would be appreciated !

thanks !

Just about any trans place will do a pan drop + filter change + refill (about 4L?) for about the $120 mark

thanks all.!

lack of space and frankly couldn't be bothered with potential mess it could create by doing this myself. I will have to take the $100+ hit for now ....

got it done at a joint @ Rocklea. Cost $140. Oil was black as pit and the difference is certainly noticeable now !
