Changing Transmission Fluid - Worth It Diy?

[schwartz]

My 05 GX just hit 75K and is obviously well past the the 60K change interval. I'm somewhat handy in that I've changed my oil, air filters, etc. I'm wondering if this is a worthwile DIY project. My dealer has quoted $79 for a drain and fill and $149 for a flush and fill.

Should I give it a try or just spend the $ to have it done professionally.

Any guidance would be most appreciated.

Thanks!

you need to flush it out with a machine. A drain only lets out a minimal amount. Most of the oil is in the torque converter.
