Get the transmission serviced properly. I had my D4 2.7 done at at 80k in Ballina under $600.00 genuine oil. metal pan. This sealed for life is rubbish.

Had a chat with Bill last night (didn't have any beers, so I could remember what was said. How dedicated am I? )
He said change the oil every 80,000km, if the oil is a nice light honey colour, just do a change. If the oil is dirty then do a pan off, change the filter flush the oil service.
Makes sense to me
