Default Re: Stealership estimate - $500 for transmission leak

If you opt to DIY let us know.
Problem is, I don't have the tools to do it myself or I would. I just figured that it'd be closer to $150 or so, not $500. My main concern is that even if it is the TSB, they could fix the problem and tell me it was some major tranny problem and I would be none the wiser (and gouge the hell out of me in the process). This is why I change my own oil and avoid dealerships at all costs. Trust me guys, it pained me to bring it in this morning

I also heard that transmission fluid sprays all over when you attempt this yourself. Is that true?

Also, I am located in the Peoples Republic of Ch... California.

EDIT: On a funny note, an identical Graphite SRT6 coupe was in line right in front of me. Small world.
