I just replaced my DCT pan and two filters on Sunday. I bought the new pan off of eBay for $85 and the filters from Husker were not too expensive but the Pentosin fluid was $28/liter. It was a messy but not particularly difficult job to do. If you aren't doing the side filter then it is really easy. With SimiM3's instructions (thanks SimiM3!) it wasn't that bad to do the side filter with removing the pipes except for getting the big snap ring out with my Harbor Freight snap ring pliers. I thought for sure that it would take 6 liters of DCT-1 fluid because it looked like a lot had leaked but with filling it 3 times and running the car in between and then using the lift to tilt it a bit sideways away from the filler I barely got 5 liters in. I was surprised that when I opened the fill plug before anything else a decent amount came out. I will look this weekend to see if anything is still leaking.
