Get second opinions from tranny shops. I had a 100,000 mile minivan in for a fluid/filter change once. They made it sound like it was gonna blow soon. I put 200,000 more miles on it and it never skipped a beat. I do all my own oil changes now-a-days....less drama.

Thanks Gary, needed that laugh about now. If it's pricey, I'll get a second opinion. If it's under $200 to fix the leak(s), fine. I just want to make sure I don't ave to cancel the trip to CAC and NCM. Actually, any second opinion that is high, I'm just going to replace/rebuild the tranny.

OK $190 to fix 3 leaks, i'll let you know where later, replace pan gasket with cork and a new tranny mount. On our way to Carlisle in about an hour.
