My transmission leaked what I saw as a Huge amount on my garage floor while I was away for 2 weeks, turns out it was transmission fluid. The repair shop quoted me $510 to replace something under the transmission! They ordered the part Friday afternoon and I am supposed to bring it in Monday morning... yet I read here it's a $12 part and minor labor...what should I do?
Please email me advise before I pay too much.

My Crossfire is a 2004 with over 125K miles. I did not take it to a dealership, but to my friendly mechanic (who did the sticky ignition fix for me a couple of years ago) who referred me to a transmission repair shop approved by AAA. The transmission shop guy said he's not going to charge me for labor, the huge cost is for the parts. Does more than just the O ring have to be replaced for a transmission fluid leak???
