    I've heard of tyre (or indeed tire) rotation, but never valve rotation......

    Thank you I meant valve adjustment ! Sorry for confusion. Most places where I live have quoted $400 for transmission fluid exchange. I was hoping to stay under $300...

    $400 to change transmission fluid is highway robbery.
