Dealer wants $90 for each...I'd rather not pay that much. I don't have the facilities to do it myself, either.

I was thinking of HAAS on Montrose since they are about 30% cheaper, but they don't do any weekend stuff. I suppose I could drop it off in the AM and just hop on the bus or blue line to get downtown...

Any other suggestions? I just rolled 30k miles and need to get these changed.


(FYI I live in Oak Park, so close to there is preferrable)

 

ILL Garage wants just the labor ($75/hr) + fluids. They say it'll only be an hour or so. Sounds like a good deal to me?

 

DIY?

 

clawhammer - pay attention
Although, the only thing you need is a set of wrenches, a couple of jackstands, a jack, and something to collect the oil with. doesn't take much.

I take it it's your daily driver? If not, i'd say wait until spring if/when we do tech day.

 

GT Motoring

 

Yeah whats GT motoring charge?

 

$85 plus fluids for Transmission and Differential.

Have Red Line fluids in stock. Requires two bottles for trans and one for diff.

 

20 bucks each if you bring oil, at the oil changers on Ogden. Downers grove.

I'm sure they did it because they had no business and I was about to walk when they quoted 90 for trany and 60 for diff with their oil.

 

I dont get why anyone charges sooo much to do, its 5 dollars worth of new washers and it takes 20 mins at most to do a quick change... its one bolt to drain and one bolt to fill... for both the trans and the diff

 

Have you ever done it yourself? It is annoying as hell. You need to use a pump. The trans isn't SO bad cause theres nothing in the way of the fill bolt. But getting to the fill bolt on the diff is annoying because the rear subframe is in the way.

I would do it all day long for 20 bucks on a civic cause you can fill it with a funnel from the speedo sensor hole on top. But using a pump is annoying.
