As a technician myself, I noticed that the location of the transmission pan is a really stupid place to put it without a cover to protect it, the location of the pan is under the vehicle directly under the passenger side where it gets bumped and scraped the most. Due to the location of the transmission pan it is likely of often replacement due to the possible cause of damage to the pan from being scraped and bumped. The average cost from an actual transmission service the cost of the replacement of the pan is $70.00 that includes the parts and fluid.
