I changed mine out at 76k, just a couple thousand miles after I bought it. I've now got 140k and the tranny is butter smooth. I'll change the fluid out again at 150k.
Well done! Wish my car had such owner! I really hope everything ends up fine, work should be done by wednesday next week.

I got my car back today! Very happy with results,car shift very smooth.

The total after a discount that I asked for: USD$1,080.00, they put a transmission kit, high clutch, ATF, Pressure solenoid and labour. The require me to come back in 6 months to change the oil filter and change the oil, included in the current price.

great news, thanks for sharing your experience with us and I am happy for you. the lesson learned is never ask the dealer to do big jobs because it will cost a fortune.

And also to flush your trans fluid and check the gasket condition every 50k miles!

I have the car back since a week ago, and its very smooth!

Wll take it back in August for a scheduled maintenance, they will flush the oil and change the oil filter, as part of the warranty.
