Hi there Craig. Just back from vacation; while i was away the dealer had my car for a week to try new/further measures to fix the tranny problem. Bill didn't say he was for sure going to put the 4th tranny in. The workorder says he replaced the pressure release plate and disc, but says nothing about the tranny. Since someone fetched the car for me; i've not yet seen/spoken to Bill since my return and thus didn't get any feedback from him after the repairs.

i've only driven it yesterday and today but so far all is well; like you i'm reserving judgement! Part of the problem is i now "automatically" park in reverse, so i've got to break this habit to try and give the tranny occassion to lock-up in neutral. Somehow, though, i'm more hopeful this time around!
