Toyota Prius Transmission Flush
A transmission flush is normally twice the price of a fluid change due to the amount of hard time the service takes and the fact that the flush not only replaces the fluid in the pan but still removes unnecessary fluid from the cooler lines and other parts of your essential transmission.

Toyota Prius Automatic vs Manual Transmission
Automatic and manual transmission will often require a variety of different fluids. Automatic transmission fluids are ordinarily thinner and are often red or green in color. Manual transmission fluid or gear oil is more burly and thicker due to additives and other vital compounds integral to lubricate the gearbox and other components. Manual transmissions have a higher friction environment due to the way gears are changed, thus the lubricant is immensely different.
Not only are the fluids different between manual and automatic transmissions but the level of heat the fluids undergo is very different. Automatic transmissions generate considerable heat and thus the fluid in your transmission must be changed more normally. If you don't replace your Toyota Prius transmission fluid, your transmission will have unpredictable broken metal shavings and other corrosive material spread throughout the critical components of your Toyota Prius. You should normally check the fluid levels between your fluid and transmission flush service intervals. In multiple cases, manual transmissions don't come equipped with a dipstick to check your fluid levels, so it can be exceedingly difficult to do. Call or visit Stevinson Toyota West for more facts if your transmission doesn't contain a dipstick.
