What is the cost for transmission fluid & filter change?
There is no "one size fits all when it comes to transmission fluid & filter changes. At Eagle Transmission, a fluid & filter change may be as low as $89.95 depending on the year/make/model of your vehicle. Many of today's high-tech transmissions require special blends of fluids, some of which are manufacture specific. Synthetic transmission fluids are becoming more of the norm in many transmission applications. Many front-wheel drive vehicles require additional labor to access the filter as well. We provide our customers with transmission service that is specific to their vehicle, therefore, there may be considerable variation in the actual cost for a transmission fluid & filter service.

There is no average cost to repair a transmission. Often there is a misconception between repairing a transmission and rebuilding a transmission. A typical transmission rebuild involves:

Frequently Asked Questions
What is my vehicle's transmission for?
Your transmission is responsible for keeping your vehicle moving and acquiring the right revolution for a smooth driving experience. It serves as a messenger (for a simpler explanation) that sends the power coming from the engine to the wheels.
What is the usual lifespan of a transmission?
The answer depends on how it is maintained and used. If you bring your vehicle to a reputable mechanic whenever it needs to be checked, or if you are very careful with how you drive, the transmission can outlive the rest of the car.
What is transmission fluid?
Transmission fluid is used to lubricate your entire transmission. Friction can lead to damage within; therefore, you have to ensure that it has ample fluid at all times.
