Well My transmission was leaking so I got an estimate for the front seal, $300.00 bucks no big, and of course the toruqe converter was bad,the bands were shot so on so my $300.00 est turns into a $1200.00 re build. (can you argue when your tranny is in 200 pieces)

HERE IS THE ODD PART

now it idels realy high (around 1500+) and does not want to fall? could these morons done something?
