Nope, autos only.

I talked with an indy and apparently a lot of the cost is the pan/filter and oil. The pan is running around $225 and the fluid is a bunch too. I might end up going to the indy as he says he has some tranny fluid left from a previous job (new, never used..lol) and would cut me a deal. I'll try to snap some pics.

I wish someone would come up with a metal pan for these transmissions. Indy mech was telling me ZF went to the plastic pans and he has had 3,5,6 and 7 series in his shop replacing the pans due to warpage. On the 6 series the exhaust is fairly close and they will tend to warp every few thousand miles in the Texas heat.
