The car is a 1985 380SE. The rebuilt tranny cost $2500 in 2010 and the mechanic I use (who didn't do the tranny work) said the transmission is shot. He sent it to a tranny shop the last time, one that he uses because he doesn't do that kind of work. (I've been using this mechanic for 10 years and he's the kind of guy that does little things free of charge or lets me buy my own parts from Peach Parts and he puts them in). The tranny obviously wasn't rebuilt properly in the first place, but it was guaranteed for 12m/12k and it's been two years and 3700 miles. He's fighting with the other shop for them to cover it. The car just stopped with a puddle of fluid under it. Not worth putting another 2500 bucks into her when the a/c doesn't work, windows are intermittent etc.
