2019 S63 9 Speed Trans service
Hi folks, looking at doing a few services on the S63 as I hit 45K miles and wondering if anyone else has done the fluid change on our AMG 275 wet clutch tranny. FCP has the kit for around 600 bucks which seems reasonable to me. Dealers and Indy's all want around 1300.00 to do this service. That can get expensive every 30K miles. I last had mine done at 17K as part of the 30K service and it was pre purchased by the previous owner. Saved me around $2500 on that service alone with everything they did. It looks pretty simple as I have a lift and all of the tools including the OBD scanner. Just wondering if it is worth the hassle to save 7-800 bucks in labor. I am having my local indy do the plugs just because that is such a pain in the rear, hand shredding job and they only want around 700 for that. I do all my own oil, brake and air filter services as they are very simple.
