[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1002685, member: 52972"] bksptr, The tranny light is supposed to only light if the sensors detects a difference in gear speeds. The light lets you know the transmission if there is slippage or not shifting properly even before you may notice the slipping. However, that does not always work and many people have had very badtransmission slippage called shift flare, yet the light does not come on.... When it comes on, it often means the transmission has already had a major problem......and why it is often referred to as "the blinking light of death" If you know the tranny is leaking fluid, don't wait for the light to come on....get it fixed ASAP. As for cost? Just depends on what they think or find wrong? ...Rich [/QUOTE]
