Good luck.

They cover the rebuild and labor. The only thing I have to pay is the initial diagnostic costs from the dealer to determine the problems with the vehicle. That will be around the $250 ~ $400 mark (I'll know when all it's done).

According to the dealer, although waiting for approval on all the items, the axles, powersteering, driver side window switch, and the TPS (already installed) are all fully covered by the warranty.

All in all, I'm disappointed at the timeframe and how things seem like they could've been done more promptly. I do think I got my money's worth, though. The transmission rebuild price alone exceeds what I paid for the extended warranty coverage.

I'm just worried that the place they're taking the transmission to won't do a good job on the rebuild. I'm just really hoping my concern is vain. I checked out their website, and they seem to have been around for a while. Actually there's 2 sites, both seem to be the same company just different locations:

http://www.trctransmission.com (Chatsworth, CA)

http://www.trctransmissions.com (Visalia, CA)

I just want my car back. It's been much too long. I miss it like crazy, and I'm tired of riding on the passenger seat of my girlfriend's Mustang... It messes with my pride.
