Shop never said what was wrong, they never dropped the pan! They said the area where he would need to check has to have the tranny removed? That does not make much sense to me. They had my car for two days and never really needed it since they didnt drop the pan! Quoted a minimum of $1100 to do this. I said no thanks this could rise quickly in price while still having a tranny with 252,000 on it. Confusing especially when they quoted $637 to install a used one if I find one and flush the system and install new fluid?

I wish I new what to look for after dropping the pan to see if the reverse piston is actually wedging itself against the transmission casing.
