What he finally got was a sound, properly researched "right" answer. There's plenty of transmission shops that say "rebuild" on every customer that comes in the door and they are right part of the time. But it's like the proverbial blind squirrel finding an acorn - the sinister version.

BTW, how many miles on the car - just curious. The thing that amazes me is that there are people who continue to defend 722.6s. I can get a 722.3 rebuilt for $1250, including in and out of the car. There's a lot less anxiety in the process at $1250, especially when it's likely to last longer.
