Just got a quote from my dealer and said around 340 to do the oil and filter in the tranny.

Daummmm,,,,I just paid the local AMG tech to do mine on the side. Coolant, brake, tranny, and oil for $200 cash.

skratch77

you paid 200 for all that with all the oils and filter?I think it takes like 10quarts of oil bro and you need to pump all the old stuff out

I paid 90 dollars just for 9 qts of mobil 1 0-40 just for an oil change,I mean if someone stole all the oil you could get all that done for 200 I guess

the tranny alone takes 12 liters of mb special oil

gonzales25

I paid 400 that's a good deal I guess?

skratch77

yeah I guess,it was an est.but he said around 340 ish.I just looked up the oil,its 16 dollars a liter.

They quoted me 1400 for spark plugs and wires tho lol

that sounds about right. my indy charged me 360 with included a diff drain and fill

TruTaing

I had my trans fluid flushed (including torque converter) and diff fluid flushed (simple) for the price you got. Seems like a fair deal to me?

skratch77

Its going in monday to have it done.I was on the highway last night and was on second at arond 60% and hit the shifter for 3rd and the car shifted to 3rd 3x harder than my friends m6 shifts.

It was scarry,legit it felt like the car hopped when it hit 3rd gear,its the first time its ever done anything like that and it shifts fine but just want to change the oil since its coming up to 60k soon.

emoving

Yep, he does it on the side on his saturday at MB! LOL....im not asking how he gets the oil, I just sit in the customer lounge and wait.

skratch77

did you guys notice any difference after the change?

I think I paid like $250 for my tranny service, but it was lumped on to my $500 Service B...I might have paid less because of that...When we went to the track a few months later I had the only 7G that didn't get hot and kick me out of M mode...I have no idea if it was because of this or not, but that's what happened...

NCE500

I paid a smidgen under $300 for my indie to do my E63 last Summer + about $110 for "A Service" oil/filter change and pano roof lube. Tranny price included MB fluid, MB filter, MB pan gasket, and labor. Made a big difference in shift smoothness, I'd get it done if I were you.

Getting my SL tranny done week after next; he quoted me the same as for the E63 but it also includes replacing the electrical connector seal....I believe that part adds all of $11.

$350 from a MB dealer is not bad deal consider my local stealer are charging $480.

I paid $400 for engine,tranny & rear diff and as far as noticing a difference...on my next visit to the track my car made 4 passes in this order 11.834, 11.761, 11.701, 11.726 pretty much hot lapped with about a 15min break in between the 2nd & 3rd run so I would say my car was feeling pretty good after that service. I have 19k miles on my car and my engine oil gets changed twice a year and the tranny every three years. I've only done the rear diff one time.

skratch77

Nice bro!

Let's just say I have a few tricks for you guys coming soon

My car is alot faster now...just need cams and im a full k4 plus

Hammer Down

Upgrade to the 82mm and you'll be moving! 11.1 - 11.2

skratch77

Bored and grinded 80mm and I think I could of done 11.2 the way it was,my best 60ft is like 1.725 and ran 11.47

Hammer Down

1.65 60' should be your new goal

CharlyE500

I paid $250 but dont think they change the filter, just oil change.

OK55

Green with envy! Would you believe a quote of 682 Dollars to service the transmission on my 06 E55??

@Hammer Down:
Is your E55 still stock? 11.7@121 is flying...!

Back to the Topic

I was told my some random Indy mechanic that our transmissions cannot be serviced b/c they are closed systems and that anyone offering to service my tranny is scamming me.

Now, I'm def noticing my shift are getting more harsh and want to do something about it. I've owned the car for approx. 50k miles and never "serviced" the tranny. Recommendations on what I need to get done?

komp55

That's why he's random and Indy - he doesn't know what he's talking about. Our transmission absolutely can be serviced - which normally consists of draining, dropping the pan, replacing the filter and seals, and refilling at the proper fluid temperature (measured most accurately via Star, but a temp gun can be shot at the pan, too). Service at 60K is very sound preventative maintenance. Had mine done late last year.

Hammer Down

at the present time yes but ask me in a few weeks and the answer might be no

Damn, Marcus, I need your hook-up!!
