How Much Does Transmission Fluid Change Cost?

Prevent Costly Transmission Repair!

At the first sign of transmission trouble, it is wise to get your vehicle into an auto shop as soon as possible so that you not only prevent extensive damage to your vehicle but that the cost of the required repair will be less. The smaller the transmission repair, the less money and the less time it will take to the shop. As per Expert Mechanics, The Cost of Transmission Repair or Fluid changes ranges from $80 to $250. Our Auto Experts recommend getting the filter replaced and pan cleaned every time the fluid is changed.

If you keep your vehicle long enough, the transmission system will eventually be affected by issues because it is constantly exposed to both heat and stress. A conscientious vehicle owner will make sure to have frequent transmission service, which typically includes a transmission fluid change. Here is why:

1. Shifting Problems: It may be hard to shift into gear or there could also be a random popping out of gear. This is a dangerous problem that could potentially result in an accident because the driver has basically lost control of the vehicle.
2. Worn-out parts: If the components of the transmission system start to wear out, you may find yourself forcing the shifter into the next gear, causing your vehicle to lurch or jerk while shifting. To avoid this issue, have the system inspected regularly by transmission repair experts to help identify the various parts of the system that are starting to wear out.
3. Major transmission repair: It is much cheaper to keep up with the recommended transmission service intervals rather than waiting until a major transmission repair is required. Don’t let the cost of service prohibit you from taking care of your vehicle, as more money may be spent in the long run due to the damage incurred if repair is neglected.
