1 hour labor is a bit light though I agree but doable if they have done ZF8HP's before.

Its all 'good stuff'. Still shouldn't mix fluids. IMO being a cheerleader for half assed work isnt a great attribute.


1 hr to toss the car on a trans flush machine is 'doable'. Did OP have a detailed "drop the pan, change the ban, reinstall, fill, bring to temp, MEASURE temp, top off" conversation?


Well OP...did you?




Finally, its amazing how people see the ATF maintenance god only after they have shift issues...you wonder where the "ATF fluid change causes tranny issues' old wives tale came about




My bad on the ZF8 vs ZF6 oversight...thx
