[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1030718, member: 52972"] If you go to a transmission shop, they will almost always just want to install a rebuilt transmission ($2400+). Most transmission shops do not have the facilities or technical expertise to rebuild transmissions onsite (let alone diagnose problems), so they get their transmission from a factory specializing in rebuilding transmissions....either outsourced or company owned. It is cheaper and easier to just remove and replace transmission than diagnose and repair the internal problems. The advantage to a rebuilt transmission is they usually come with a warranty (6mo/6K or more) If you only replace the valve body, you won't get much, if any warranty even if it's done by the transmission shop. If you replace the valve body and/or solenoids, and that does not solve your problem, you will have no warranty and will eat the cost. It is also hard to diagnose problems online without having hands on the vehicle....all anybody can do here is listen to your problem and make a "Possible" diagnosis to your problem based on their experiences or based on how others have resolved a similar problem. In the end, it is still your decision. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
