Well, their cost to replace one of these transmission is most @ least in the 5-6K range.. I'm sure they are making their usual brutal mark up on the transmission and they have some wiz that can knock it out in a matter of a couple of hours.

Be that as it may, I change the fluid in my 96 S600 every 15-20K (doesn't' get driven much)...costs me 110-120 even w/ my discounts but I'd Much prefer that then R&R'ing that bloody box.
