I usually go to a trans specialist, and it's usually around $150 for a filter and fluid change - add an extra $100 for a full fluid flush.

My gearboxes are also done at a specialist tranny place, for the prices JC has mentioned.

go to a good tranny specialist they will be cheaper than ford and normally do a better job. the gasket is replaced in the service anyhow, if it is the pan gasket that is

Yep, much cheaper and both the filter and pan gasket will indeed be changed for about the $150 mark.

All the best with it.
