I live on the east coast, and a good friend of mine lives in Oakland, CA.

He has a 1995 S320 that will not go into reverse once it's warmed up.

I've been visiting CA often, and I am considering fixing his car so that I would be able to use it instead of always renting an econobox.

Do you think this car will need a transmission rebuild? Do you know an indy shop near Oakland who could do the job for a reasonable price? What does it cost to fix a problem like that these days?

thanks!
