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.
