Two Questions.....

94 blk/blk coupe.. 35,000 miles. Chevy dealer quoted me 250.00 to service the automatic transmission.. Doesnt this seem high even for a dealer? Question #2 What type of freon does the 94 use. Ive heard there is a label under the hood telling which type, where is the label. The A/C still works but not as cold as I would like. Are the kits from autozone/schucks easy to use...? Thanks

For a complete trans flush and filter change figure around $100 (if you use non synthetic fluid).
I believe you use R134 in your A/C, I think the change over year was 1993.

1994 was R134... that's for sure.

1993 was transitional, but that is not model specific, nor was a running change. Some models had it, some didn't.

Tranny flush? DIY is about $40.00... You will need about 9 qts of transmission fluid to make it happen... some hose... and a bucket.

Used it on my buick, very easy once I found and cleaned the quick connector. Weird thing was the can said to hold it right-side-up, but it didn't work that way, worked great once I upside-downed it. Instructions are easy. Bought the kit with the pressure gauge, it can take 3 cans for a full recharge, you'll probably just need one (the sticker says how much total).
