Default Re: DIY Transmission leak fix with photos... TA DAAaa

He explained to the foolish woman that the plate under the transmission box needs to be replaced because the leak goes through it to the rings. He said he won't charge me for labor, but the part is expensive. He ordered the part Friday and I am supposed to go in Monday morning to have the work done.

Please advise me - is this a possibility or do I really only need a $9 O-ring replaced?

Being quite cynical in my old age I have to consider the possibility that the mechanic while appearing to be generous in not charging for labor to replace the parts, may in fact not be replacing any parts except the leaky$20 plug insert. Or he actually may be charging you for labor as the parts he is replacing costs a $150 or so.
I think it sounds to good to be true.
