92 Q45a

[mikeestes]

I got a quote for a Hayden external transmission cooler and a flush for $400. Is that a decent deal or should I continue to shop?

[PalmerWMD]

Info:

The price for the Hayden ( just as good a BM) is about $45-80 dollars for the part, depending on model ( 3 models fit, get the biggest).labor approx 90 minutes w/ a lift (easy job, even I could do it, but would likely be too lazy and find a friend that owes me a favor to do it)

transmission flushes with machine can be had for $90-140 with generic ATF

transmission flush takes 16 quarts ATf plus so adding Mobil 1 ATf will up the flush price a bit.So at 400 they arentr raping you but its certainly not as cheap as it could be.

The flush if using Mobil 1 should be around $200-$230. Make sure theyre putting the car on a lift and running through all the gears.

The part for a heavy duty transmission cooler was $40 for me, and $60 for a little over an hour's labor.

I guess depending on what part of California you're in, thats not a bad price.
