The FailSafe is happening even less and less now so im not to worried.(probably just a soaked sensor)
The independent mechanic did give me a 2 year warranty on the tranny though.
And I have replaced the tranny fluid.

Im looking at it as the cost for driving a great car.
My boss had a ferrari 355f1 and his repair bills would have made me nosedive of a bridge. So when I have to do repairs, I think of that and I keep a smile.

So JerkinJohn , think of me and you'll feel better.
