I am guessing it was the other transmission place this i.iot took the car to since he kind of admitted he was out of ideas.

I think the old t-case is gone already as the core..

Update : Be ready to say wow. The new place the inapt transmission guy (I am hardly holding myself from mentioning his name) took my car to actually found the transmission issue once they opened it up. Its the Forward Drum (A) cracked! How the heck did this j.rk missed this, hard to believe!

So, car goes back to the j.rk to fix, he receives the new part, and he does not do any work on it for a week, keeps promising me that it would be done in 2-3 days several times..

Today I call him, since he promised me the car would be done, he gave me another excuse, so I told him to return the car to my original mechanic immediately, or the police would get involved.

Now, the car is back to my mechanic (who outsources transmission work to this j.rk) and they already opened up the transmission to replace the part, I am hoping to have it back in a day or so.

What would you guys do? Its just unbelievable what kind of a guy I had to deal with..

I am hoping this new part would solve the problem or I may choose to take them to court..

Ozzie..

Update : Good news so far! I got the car back today, they said after testing the transmission with some type of paint to see where it leaks (which was supposed to be done in the first place 6 months ago, I guess). They saw the leakage was between torque converter and the pump thru some sort of shaft? They replaced the torque converter and the pump all together (Shaft as well, or its just attached to the pump). Today I drove the car for couple of hours and no problems! So I am about the believe that its done..

Thanks again for the input from everybody..

Ozzie..
