Yeah, it's one of those things that is so simple I kick myself for not thinking of doing it that way. Instead I bought this stupid hand pump thing that is just a pain in the butt to use. Next time I'm doing it with air.

The hand pump thing is actually not hard to use once you get used to it, especially when you use it for the heavy oils like 75/90 weight. It only takes about 4-5 pumps and the quart is empty. This one is from harbor freight and less than $10

Ive never changed the oil in my transmission. It has 73k miles on it, i bought it with 65k. I don't know if the previous owner ever changed it either. Gears work fine. Should i still get it checked?

Yes....................

Thats an Audi/VW transmission, nothing special about it. At my shop, we charge $250 plus tax. That includes the special oil, removing and cleaning the oil pan, and installing a new filter.

$865 is just blatant robbery, unless theyre changing the whole valve body along with it the service.

Wow $250, labor and parts included? What fluid is used at that price and how much is drained ?

Just had mine changed on my 6 speed. Since I was having the IMSB replaced he shop just charged me for the fluid which was $50.

The automatic stuff is not cheap... at least $20 a quart. Shops tend to charge $28-$32 a quart.
