Hey I agree with changing the fluid yourself.. is this done from the drain plug on the bottom of the ATX?, cause when I had mine changed they hooked up a machine to the inlet of the tranny near the radiator and then refilled. I guess this was a flush but I think ill change mine myself next time (about 5k mi's) So far..... KNOCK ON WOOD.... My Contour ATX is holding up at 107k. No flashing O/D lights, or rough gears, shifts as smooth as a babys ass!
