(of course they will want you to leave it there for repair, but just tell them you want an estimate for now) then compare the price of repair versus swapping trannys (in reply to jlanuevo36) Post #: 5

Not sure if this is true but my guess is if you took it to a trans shop then their going to want to pull the trans out or at the very least drop the pan to look. (in reply to beckeruti) Post #: 9
