The obvious? OK, the tranny is gone. Anything else?

I would check the fluid level and see what the level is. Smell the fluid and if it has a burnt smell, that is not good. What color is it? If it is black or very dark, that is not good either.

Knowing what he gave for it, I don't think so ...plus they told him the tranny was bad...
