Bg transmission flush cost10/11/2023 ![]() I am not going to mess with introducing transmission fluid into a sealed unit, with a fluid pump system, and make a huge mess. Now, I have a Hyundai Sonata with the sealed transmission. The flush on a working transmission is a very good idea, they are not putting pressurized fluid into the system, just introducing new fluid slowly and taking out old fluid using the trans cooler. Never had a transmission problem and car shifted great. Fluid was dark red for the next 50k miles. I paid about $140 for the BG service but they did a perfect job. I should have just drained the fluid using the drain plug and replaced it that way, would have been much cheaper. I had just bought the car, and had the BG flush done. My wife had a Toyota Matrix, the fluid was burned at 50k miles. If it gushes out it is overfilled.ĭo this a few times and the transmission should be good for a long service life. If no fluid comes out, more fluid is needed. Remove 3/8th fill plug, if fluid trickles out your good. ![]() Start the vehicle, shift into each gear pausing for 3-5 seconds, let vehicle warm up to full temp. Reinstall 24mm plug to about 32 ft.lbs and fill 4 qts of trans fluid through the access hole in valve body cover. Wipe off the metal filings on the magnetic plug, wait for about 4 qts to drain out. Procedure I have used hundreds of times with no problems is to remove 3/8th cover on the valve body cover, remove 24mm plug on bottom of transaxle case. Easily doable in the driveway with only a 3/8th ratchet, 24mm socket and 4 qts oem fluid. I know alot on here will say do a complete exchange etc. I'd say to do a simple drain and fill with OEM fluid. The 6f24 is a good transmission that we see few problems with. IF I can get trustworthy work done this time and trust that the level is correct, I will probably just start doing occasional drain and fills through the drain plug and replace with the same ounces that came out, avoiding the temperature compensated level checks (assuming I see no leak evidence). With the SP-4M at $12/qt., 9 or 10 quarts will cost $110, so the convenience of having someone else do it for $180 is not a deal breaker. My tranny factory fill is 7.5 quarts and drain service is 5 quarts. This time I have circumstances (wife health issues) that may require me to let someone else do it, thus me inquiring about affordable alternatives. Just adds to the bill.ĭonald, I've done both pan drop and cooler line changes on past vehicles. ![]() How many QTs total and how many in the pan? That's all the BG flush machine does.Ī drain and fill only empties the pan not the whole system. You can do a cooler line flush yourself for the cost of the total number of QTs + 1 or 2.
