I've decided to do a automatic transmission flush on my civic and i just have a few questions. I called up Honda and they told me that it would be $54.99 for an automatic transmission oil change and i called up Mr.Lube and they told me it's $129.99 for an automatic transmission complete fluid change which includes Honda tranmission oil. This service at mr.lube includes replacing all the tranmission fluid including the torque converter. my question is what is the difference between these two services? and are there any gaskets or anything that need to be changed as well when replacing transmission oil.

and i was told by a friend that transmission oil should be pink, if not you nedd a change. is that correct? i checked mine and it's brownish color
