Ack! Every tranny shop I talk to want to replace the tranny, and since the casing's cracked, I don't get the core refund either, so that's to the tune of $2000+!
However, my friendly local Ford dealer's parts guy just got me another idea... You can order JUST the casing, along with an overhaul kit, and get a trusted person to overhaul the thing. Then I'll have a nearly new tranny (hmmm... maybe fill this time with synthetic fluid?) to the tune of $600 + labor + installation.
The problem is finding a shop in SFBay area that'll do this without cheating me... Any suggestions?
