If it was mine; I’d ensure that they were gonna flush all fluid out & refill with new...price will vary pending shop-but that price seems a tad high for a single drain & fill (probably 50$ for 4qts Nissan fluid). Book says to replace the plugs & sealing washers...though I cleaned & reused mine multiple times.
Haven’t seen one in a while; but some places used to have a bladder machine that would put new fluid in,as old fluid was coming out...they would tap into the transmission cooler lines for this procedure.
But just a single drain & fill can be performed in about 15-30min.easily .
If you choose to just go this route, I’d have them catch you a sample & then you can send to Blackstone Laboratories for analysis...about another 25$ or so.
I drove mine really hard & never had any troubles with it; but this is definitely a good preventative maintenance task that most people just neglect...especially if you plan to keep your Z for a long time.
New trans is nearly 10k
so this is cheap maintenance on the hydraulic system that gets a lot of heat.
