Allison 3000MH service cost
Transmission has 62K and is sluggish when shifting gears at times. Fluid level is fine. What can I expect to pay for a service replacing the current syn-tran fluid, filter, gasket etc.

We paid $527 this past July, for 5 gallons of transynd @ $81 each and $120 labor to flush the trans.
When I questioned this, I was told the filters were screens, they checked the primary, it was clean, so they didn't touch the secondary. Just flushed and changed the fluid.
Some searching after the fact shows that transynd is about $42 a gallon, and there are in fact 2 pleated paper 4" filter, which can be bought on the internet for $65.
At this point, I am assuming the shop that did my annual maintenance for me pretty much did an "air job" whereby they park the coach in the back corner of the lot for a day, don't touch it, and roll it around front once I pay their inflated bill.
I'm thinking some time within the next couple months, I will replace the filters myself, and send a fluid sample off to be analyzed.
