120-150 mate..
with a flush it's normally just over the 200 mark.. cost me 180 for a full flush, filter and gasket about 2 years ago.. I imagine prices may have gone up a little.. cheers kris

don't worry about a full flush
just get a pan drop and filter and new oil style service $120-$150 is right

It all depends on the fluid doesn't it? - if the fluid looks ok, maybe going a bit brown but still redish, then no real need for a flush. If its really gone off colour, then definately flush. You won't know till you check I suppose.

I had mine done a few weeks back, cost me $130 for the service of the trans, and then another $90 on top of that to do the flush as well.
So for $220 I got the service & flush, and it now changes more smoothly than I think its ever done in my ownership of it even though I have had it done before. Not sure whether they did seal/filter or not, I just asked for the service and the flush. At a place called DRW Automatics at Lonsdale (SA) - which I had heard a few decent reports about. Was impressed with their service and could tell as soon as it clicked into second when I took off that they'd done what I'd paid them to!

I have seen boxes destroyed by full flushes. The machines can be too agressive and dislodge crap to where it shouldn't be. Thats why everyone should just have a pan drop once a year and then everything is always alright.

Very interesting read Mr Hardware. Thanks for that. Hmm might have to rethink this flushing exercise for now.

Mine's gone into the workshop today and one of the things on the list is the auto. Will be flushed if necessary if the old fluid is burnt, which I suspect it might be.
Last full flush I had on my old EL Ghia worked a treat as the previous owner had neglected it badly. Auto performed heaps better, sharper shifts, no slippage or flaring between gears. Interesting comments in the article above though which I'll ask my mechanic about this afternoon. |

The trick is to not get get a "powered" flush. Passive flush is what is required.
If you're confident of doing it (it's easy) then here's the way:- http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11293691 If you'd rather pay someone for the job, this is the way you'd want it done:- http://www.fasttracklube.com/services/ |
