They mentioned that they had
checked that [because it was listed

it was not leaking. I do

I'd take it to the dealer for a computer clear and check.
If that cures the problem, ask your shop to pay the dealer for you.
If the dealer says 'replace tranny', you just bought a 2nd opinion.

A lot of shops use a $2000 Snap-On that's supposed to replace all the factory
tools. Just subscribing to the updates would price it out of home mechanic
reach. It's not your typical $100 OBDII tool.

When they pull that cover to

comes out in 2 pieces. I don't
anything about resetting the
computer with that method
WHOA... with the amount of money this guy has spent on tools, he could have
stocked several new transmissions just in case. Wow!

Rusty if I ever need a trans. But when you evaluate tools VS cost of
paying someone for the work, using stealership or higher prices can
justify fancy tools.
Looks like his garage is bigger than most people's house.
I'm a firm believer in that, but that guy had some REALLY expensive tools.
Everything was Hazet, Stahlwille, etc.

Not a good day. The transmission

Trusted local transmission shop has
