Realistically. What will a rebuild (old, new, the one I've got) cost?

My best case scenario right now is that the Tow Owner comes by in the morning, agrees to tow the car himself (properly of course) to the shop of my choice for estimates, agrees to foot the bill and I have a new tranny.

Worst case is that the Tow Owner low balls me and I have to go to small claims.

Or, we could settle on something in between. I can chip in a bit. I wish I'd read my owner's manual more closely.

I'm pretty sure that this won't be covered under my comprehensive insurance, and even if it were, I'd be out the deductible.

Thanks for your support. Or are you all revelling in a bit of Schadenfreude ?

jeez.
