d3 auto trans

Hi Agro,

I had mine done as BobD did, full flush of the transmission, the oil is totally removed via the oil cooler outlet and replaced via the oil cooler inlet, around $800 (I had the steel sump replaced previously). The transmission was like new, so smooth and is still today after nearly 40K but I will have it done every 50K.

Not sure but have heard if you have the petrol model you need to remove the crossmember and maybe an engine mount. The diesel does not require that and can be done with just the cutting of the pipe. The pipe in question is the oil feed from the sump thru the gearbox so it needs to be removed/ replaced.
