Transmission cooler data and other other stuff

Anyone know a good shop to do a transmission fluid flush? I'm located in eastern Connecticut.

If your here for a writeup on coolers go to page 5, if the want to see people "discussing flushes" see the first 5 pages.

 

No, I am in CA. Sorry.

 

Dealership I go to my local dealer and I just did mine for $250

 

Dealer...Get a price from a few different dealers and then have the dealer of your choice price match the cheapest.

 

Don't even trust the dealer to do an oil change right.

 

Then do it yourself. There are plenty of how-to's on here.

 

I would but the smell of transmission fluid makes me sick.

 

Understandable, but if you don't trust them how would you trust someone else? It is pretty easy to do.

Just shop around locally and see what everyone says. Make a day of being on the phone I guess.

 

Ya thats what I'm looking for a transmission shop.

I was thinking of going to a transmission shop. They should know what they are doing? Thoughts??

 

IMHO doing it yourself will make you sleep better at night, just my thought, good luck!

 

I’m in eastern CT too. I think you will find the consensus is to perform a drain and refill versus a flush. I do mine myself. I’m going to do mine in the next month or two. If you’d like you are welcome to come over and we can do yours too.

 

Not sure of your mileage .
Have you read this ?

No transmission flushes without removing the transmission pan . Ask me why I know ?

 

80k miles.

 

My Dad took his Chevy pickup to a quick oil change place. They stripped the threads on the oil pan had to tap the threads and put a bigger drain plug on. You would think they would know how to do an oil change.

 

Hell yea man! Good looking out!

There ya go OP!

 

Thanks Montana. I’m the real deal. I can do it right. I wouldn’t subject myself to failing in front of all theses certified DIYers. Gotta warn ya though. I’m a bit on the OCD side with this stuff, lol. Probably gonna want to get all your stuff right.

 

Can you do a flush?

 

Feel free to come to Montana and help me out! lol. I am the same way man. Never done a "closed system" but the setup was surprisingly similar on a previous F150. I got all the research saved and "watched" so I can refer to it when it's time for me

Just bugs me I can't check the level using a dipstick. Really no reason to not have one.
