I've been reading the threads about transmission flushes (on the 5AT) and have decided it's something I should do on mine since I just got it a couple weeks ago. There's 50K miles on the clock and I don't think the previous owner took fantastic care of it.

I plan to use the proper J Matic fluid, but was wondering what my options are for getting this done?

Dealership might be a little pricey and my work schedule is so erratic that I wouldn't really be able to make an appointment.

The shop I normally use might not have the expensive machine...

Super Lube does this service but might not do it with the fluid that I want.

I have the day off tomorrow and want to get this done. What options do I have?

 

Really? Not even one view? lol

 

dealership or if you cant call the other shops to see if you can provide the fuilds for them to use

 

Well I'm just going to have the nissan dealer do it. $179.99

 

such a rip off

 

Doesn't seem like a ripoff to me, if they seriously use 10 qt. of fluid that probably costs $10 a quart from the dealer, an hour of labor, and making sure it gets done right? I think it's fine. Or were you being sarcastic? lol

 

Seems like you answered your own qustion...try posting in the Florida section on the forums. They may be able to give you some shops that can do it right

 

I did indeed answer my own question, and in about 3 hours this thread won't be of any use haha. I was just at the muffler shop having my resonator deleted (wanted to see what it would sound like, louder but WAY more raspy.... not sure I like it) and the guy was saying that the machines the dealers use doesn't remove any more fluid than just draining and refilling... I wasn't going to argue with him since I don't actually *KNOW* this from my own personal experience. He did not seem correct though...
