While the handbook states that gearbox servicing is unnecessary, the dealer recommends having it done after the vehicle reaches 60,000 miles. I plan to retain ownership of the automobile for an extended duration, but, the servicing cost amounts to $500.00. Therefore, I would appreciate your opinion on whether it is imperative to proceed with the repair.

Affirmative

At a minimum, I would recommend doing a drain and fill.

To get verification, examine the hue of the gearbox fluid. However, a mileage of 60,000 miles seems to be accurate.

I have accumulated about 20,000 km on my CX30 and I have enlisted the help of a mechanic buddy to do the following services: replacing the gearbox filter and oil, changing the engine oil and filter and draining and refilling the front and rear differential fluids.

Is the cost of servicing the gearbox $500? If the service includes a pan drop, filter replacement, and fluid exchange, the cost seems to be somewhat high. Could someone here provide us with the precise protocol for doing this task thoroughly and accurately?

yes
