Hi guys,
A friend with a gen4 5 speed auto wants to do a power flush on his tranny.
Can someone reason a workshop in Sydney capable of doing a good job and what sort of cost is expected and the type of oil to use ?
Thanks!

Thanks for your DIY instructions.
A couple of questions.
The red arrow in the picture I'm assuming is the return hard line which returns the oil back into the tranny.
From what you're saying, if you disconnect the rubber hose connected to this hard line and plug up hard line, how can fluid from the disconnected rubber hose drain into a bucket because its the return hose ? Shouldn't you be disconnecting the factory rubber hose and attaching a longer hose to the return hard line into a bucket ?
OR
do you mean the hard line with the red arrow is the feed into the cooler which then makes sense to plug it up and put the disconnect rubber hose into a bucket and plugging up the hard line to prevent air sucking in cause the other rubber line will be the return into the tranny ?
I hope that makes sense ?
cheers
Steve

I had my 5EAT serviced at an auto trans joint 13000km/12mths ago and I HATE knowing that this definitely wasn't done.
They didn't even change the trans oil filter tucked in behind my battery (I've since changed it myself).
So the dilemma now is, should I do a flush now or could I leave it for another 12mths? It's not long had a service after all..
I'll have to go back through records of any previous major services and see if it was done then, but it sounds like any mechanic would've charged a bomb so I'd definitely remember that!
Damn I wish I knew about this 12mths ago.
