At a typical garage
Transmission fluid lubricates and cools the gearbox; degraded fluid causes hard shifting, slipping or premature wear of internal components. Many manufacturers specify "lifetime" fluid but most independent experts recommend changing it every 40,000–60,000 miles. AUDI A3 transmission service costs $250–$450.
What affects the price
- Automatic vs manual vs CVT (different fluid volumes and procedures)
- Drain-and-fill vs full flush with flush machine
- OEM-specified fluid type (using the wrong fluid can cause damage)
