Okay, The transmission place took it off the car and looked inside. Needs:

New Band
New Clutches
New Valve Body / Solonoids
New Torque Converter
Filter clogged
Other stuff but I was too shell shocked to think beyond the majors

Total cost for rebuild: $2200

$1350 for Labor

Lifetime warranty on parts
They will put on my Tranny Cooler
They will put in Synthetic

Anything else I should look for?



With 122,000 miles on it, what they found is to be expected.
$2200 is very reasonable for this also, and lifetime warranty isn't too shabby either.
I would go ahead and let them do what they want with it, and make sure
you have the ATX Oil changed every 15,000 miles after you have the work done.
Let them do the ATX Service also so that your Warranty stays intact as long as you own the car.

Good Luck...
