Gah! Transmission!!
Well, my transmission went last night on the drive home. It began slipping more and more and finally stopped working completely. There is some transmission fluid dripping out the bottom of the bell housing. Is this how they normally go?
So who should I take it to and what should should I expect to pay? Or depending on the answers does anyone want to buy an extremely nice pearl 2WD SVX that needs a tranny? Michele |

See if you can blame the tranny failure on when it was stolen!

I just talked to the insurance company and I'm trying to do that. I mean it was stolen twice this summer, one time for three weeks plus. I need to find a shop that not only can I can trust to do a good job but that will also say that the failure was the result of abuse likely at the hands of the crooks. Any advice as to what shop that might be would be greatly appreciated!

I had a rather unpleasant experience with the local aamco (my car came with an aamcr*p warrantee), and a good experience getting my tranny swapped out at Smart Service.

Anyone ever hear of Clary's Transmission Service. I got a strong recomendation from someone who has worked on the car before so it is over there now.

Well after they tore down the transmission it was really obvious that it had been subjected to some serious abuse so the insurance company is picking it up to the tune just over $3K! What a relief! So now I'm hoping that Clary's transmission that is doing the work are going to do a good job. In theory I get it back in the next couple of days so I'll let you all know how it turns out.

Great news about insurance covering it! My fingers are crossed hoping the "new" tranny is a keeper! You may want to ask what they did (repair vs replace) and if they flushed the entire system (radiator, torque converter, etc)
