1. How much should one reasonably pay for a Tranny flush (not just service)? I know the Ford fluid is expensive.
Also, when its flushed is the filter replaced? 2. How much would 1 expect to pay for having an external tranny cooler fitted? (Yes I know it would be cheaper to do it myself, but I don't have that knowhow) cheers |

I got quote $350 for the cooler. |

I got a tranny service and complete flush done out in North Richmond at Richmond Auto Transmissions for $155.50 for my v8 trans and a mate got one done for his 6cyl trans for $115.50.
I know it's a bit of a drive but this guy is damn good, many of the guys at work will only take their cars to him, me included.

How much for a filter kit these days... 30 bucks? Probably 50 bucks worth of fluid and an hour's labour, plus 'workshop consumables'... I reckon 160, 170ish is fair for a service/flush... (pretty horrible job to do yourself so money well spent IMO).
Yes casey, the filter will be replaced - probably before the flush... i.e. remove the old one to drain her... put new filter in etc, put a few litres of fluid in, then begin the flush.... No idea on cooler sorry...

He was saying something about needing the Flushing machine, and not many ppl had them. pfft.

Lol - flushing machine = couple bits of hose, a drain bucket and a drum of trans fluid.  Flushing machine probably does it all in a matter of minutes tho...
Any mechanic worth his salt should be able to do it with s**t lying around the workshop. Well, IMO....
