after having my car come back negative for the glycol test to try and fix my transmission jerk, the dealer then suggested that i have the transmission fluid changed as they say this could be another cause of the problem.
they want to charge me £185.00 for this because as they say it is a serviceable item and is not covered by the warranty (which has now run out), i am not too sure about having it done as i dont think this will fix my problem and i would be interested to know what service a transmission fluid change would normally be done at

, i've had the car in several times for the same problem which on my car is intermittant and they can't seem to find anything wrong
. the last time i had it in was just before the warranty ran out and after getting nowhere i made a point of getting the service manager to agree that this fault was reported under warranty and so should still be covered if and when a fix is found

ok, that makes more sense now based on what i was reading last night in the service manual...and i don't have a warranty anymore, so it is a non-issue...i need to change the fluid for peace of mind since i bought this vehicle used...going to put some Amsoil ATF fluid in....
