Update!

The dealer said they can't just check the fluid level so given I was at 60K miles I just had them do the service.

Definitely shifts smoother and the 3rd gear thump is actually way less. Makes me wonder how filled the transmission fluid was from the factory?

Of course the brakes developed a shimmy after I picked it back up from the dealer

They lied to you! Literally would take them 15 minutes to check the fluid (provided it was up to operating temp).

Thanks everyone for the truth info!

Given my mileage, the constant 3rd gear thumps since purchase, and the relatively low $200 price to service in SoCal I decided not to make it an issue in the moment and had them do the service.

It's a PIA for me to drop my car at my dealer and it includes an out of pocket rental for me so usually I defer to less time and back and forth.

Will know for next time though.

Thanks everyone!

Dennis.
