he swore the next day he'd have it done. well ends up he didn't even get the right transmission. after going through all that for-freaking-ever he calls and tells me it's going to be $2,500 for the rebuilt transmission for my car, that's not including labor at all. OK, fine. He said though that it'd just keep giving me trouble and I'd be a lotter better off $-wise and in the end if I traded my baby in. I found one exactly like her, just a 2006, in Atlanta so on our way back from Hilton Head this Saturday we may stop and take a look if they haven't sold it yet. I had toyed with the idea of trading up when the transmission problem first came about, but decided against it thinking I wouldn't be able to find another used one just like her. Now that I have....I'm kind of leaning that way. Sometimes I wish I was a chic mechanic just so I could do this all myself. haha
