What moves the price
- The fluid your transmission is specified for. CVTs and many modern automatics need a particular fluid, and some take a lot of it.
- Drain-and-fill or a full exchange. An exchange replaces more of the old fluid and uses more new fluid.
- A serviceable filter and pan gasket, where the transmission has them, add parts and labour.
- Anything beyond maintenance. A rebuild or a replacement transmission is a different job, and a far larger bill.
