Default SWFL - Transmission help!

Anyone know of or recommend a good (and preferably cheap) transmission repair place in this area? I'd prefer to stick around the Port Charlotte area but if there is a good place in Ft. Myers I'd consider that too.

Thanks

Loud whining noise in P and N. Shifts funny (slow/underpowered feeling) when starting from 0 mph. I think in 2nd, it runs the RPMs up kinda high under light throttle (3k rpms) from either 2 to 3 or 3 to 4 it shifts quite hard making a grinding noise. It seems to run fine in 4th.

You working today Ken?

Reverse is officially gone.

It clicks into reverse, but car will not move.

It's a C4. She's operating normally.



Seriously, I have no experience with Tranny shops.
