How long does it take to change Trans fluid, TC fluid, and Rear Differential Fluid?
I work at a VW dealer, and I'm going to have a tech change these fluids. It's going to done after hours, so I wanted to get an idea how long this generally takes.

BTW, he drives a DSM, so I'm not worried that he'll be clueless working on an EVO.

Should take about 30-45 min with a lift and smoke breaks.

Offer to pay him about 2 hours of labor since you should be getting a deep discount on the labor.

Did all 4 fluids (Oil, TC, TR, RD) this weekend for the first time on a lift. I took me 2 hours with a nice hand pump attached to an old bottle of Neo. If you don't have a hand pump get yourself one now.

Probably take me 4 hours, but I would have to stop and drink a beer every 10 min.

Took me several hours for the first time. Without a lift add a couple extra hours with a lift probably 2 hrs. max.
