    Don't expect a new tranny. They are probably going to repair it though I have been told by Service Managers that techs only pull and replace parts as assemblies and not actually repair them. I think this might not be correct as the manuals break down in detail on spec'n out assemblies and replace defective parts.

    Let's hope that it is a new one as most Techs at the Dealership don't know squat about rebuilding trannys.
