My Indy is telling me I have the typical side/upper DCT slow leak.. I topped off three weeks ago (was two qts low on fluid somehow) until I could make a plan on the long-term fix. It drove silky smooth after the top off. Three weeks later I am now starting to get some of the jerkiness back, so I assume it's time to start scheduling the DCT service.

Wanted to know what you all thought I should know before taking it back in Wednesday for a full quote/diagnosis. Assuming it's the upper gasket and the transmission will have to come out to service (believe that's a pretty intense job) should I consider looking for a used DCT with fewer miles and comparing cost/benefit? I hope to keep this car for the long haul and would hate to spend over a grand on servicing it when I might have long-term issues come back up... are used DCTs pretty cheap? I saw a low mileage one on here days ago for $1500...
