Well, I got out to the car today to check my tranny fluid for anything mysterious. For one thing, there wasn't much fluid in there (yet I'd filled it 4 weeks ago), and for another the fluid that was in there was riddled with metal bits. Bad. I went about looking for the leak and eventually found a nice 1/4 inch hole near the top of the transmission housing (just above the differential). Is this that fabled self-machining problem?

Anyway, I'll be giving ND a call shortly to see what they can do for me. I don't have anything near the time or facilities required to remove the tranny and inspect it myself. With the limited information I've given you, do you think this one can be rebuilt or will I have to get a whole new box? How much can I expect to spend for the new tranny and installation? I shudder to think...

Thanks.
