it is also a pain to do it by your self. There's a specail tool/attachement that you need to be able to complete the removal and replacement of the fluid. I really wouldn't do it my self. This would definately be something I would pay to have some one else do.
I bought it used w/70K miles a month ago. I haven't had a full tune-up. Judging by the service records, the old owner was well-conditioned by the service lights to get his wallet emptied by the dealer.
By the way, most of the old owner's driving was short trips in stop-and-go LA traffic, so I'd assume a "severe" schedule applies...
nope not worth it. you'd need to get your car high enough off the ground to work on the underneeth but still be able to get in and run the engine some to get the tranny to the right temp keeping the car level the whole time too.... then drain it some how and fill it somehow (not impossible but could be tricky with out proper tools... )
