Hey there, me again.

Someone already posted a "last chance for my SVX" thread, so I won't steal his title, but this cat is plumb out of lives.

OK, so I had a 4.44 auto swap done this year (yeah the title's wrong) and I noticed it was leaking red fluid on my garage floor - assumed it was trans fluid so I bought some fluid and a funnel and waited a bit to check the level. This last week it started misbehaving (not wanting to shift from low gears) so tonight I pulled her inside, washed her all up and set about checking the trans fluid.

OK, this is the dipstick low by the firewall on the driver's side, right? Because it reads just over HOT full when COLD.

-pause for effect-

Yeah...So I'm thinking I'm pretty screwed here. Any suggestions at all that don't involve crushers?

Please help...

Thanks!
