Transmission fluid type problems
So I started to go to class today and my car wouldn't shift. After further inspection it was bone dry and apparently I had a leak that I put off. Well I can't put it off any longer.

My questions are: It turns out that these things have transmission filters that need to be replaced every 30k miles. I didn't know that so needless to say it's due. I'm unable to do it myself so I need to take it to a mechanic. How much does that normally cost and could the lack of proper maintenance have caused the leak?

I appreciate the insight and will promptly die in an AIDS fire .

Mostly labor but it can be spendy. Lots of places will flush it out and the torque converter too. Had an estimate of 350 for my truck. But that's cheaper than having to have it rebuilt. Get jasonsauto or one of the board mechanics advice on this is your best bet

If there's grit or dirt on the dipstick when you refil and check it you are probably looking at a rebuild

What type of vehicle? I will answer the other questions once we get some information. I will say this however, if you ran it dry, you really chooched yourself.

If it's not completely ****ed, most automatic transmissions should just be drained and refilled. Most don't need the filters changed.

It's an 04 sebring convertible. It did shift into reverse enough for me to park it so I don't know that it's bone dry, but it was pretty empty.

False, most automatic transmission have filters accessible to change. Although it is dependent on the type of transmission. Some imports (ie Honda) have internal filters, thusly a drain and refill is the only options.

Should be a A604 (some call them 41TE) type transmission. I would recommend dropping the pan, replacing the filter, fill with synthetic transmission fluid, add a Lucas conditioner to it, cross your fingers and hope you didn't run it to low.

A typical service on an A604 will typically run $175-$200 in our area.

I got quoted $175 for a flush, filter change, and such.

I wouldn't know the first thing about doing it myself.
