Yes, it appears to me that they never even looked at the car and just decided to try to sell me a new tranny . . .
Saturday, I pulled out the transmission resistor and checked it with my ohm meter - 0 ohms. I bought a 10 ohm, 10 watt resistor from Radio Shack and pushed the bare wires straight into the wiring harness connection. The shifting is much softer and the AWD binding in turns is much reduced. I'll try to find a 15 or 20 ohm resistor this week. I haven't had a chance to recheck the codes yet to see if code 11 has gone away.
Meanwhile -
Still looking!
