We are worried that even if we spend the money to do that, it might not fix the problem. We were hoping to drive this car for another 100K miles so that is the only reason we are even considering attempting the fix. Lots of people on this forum say the transmission needs to be replaced but no one seems to come back and say they replaced the transmission and it resolved the issue. Perhaps because no one is willing to spend 10K on a transmission replacement! So frustrating! This car has definitely been a piece of crap - one problem after another.
So what happened to your transmission in the end?
