Did you check all solenoids and/or the cable that actuate the shifter mechanism?

Check the cable going to the tranny. It looks like it has a barrel adjuster inside of another adjuster with an alignment window. It only takes a minute or two to check that it is aligning while in park and neutral. Might as well cross off another possibility before you hand it off to someone else.

Yeah I haven’t heard much good from those places… But they must be doing something right to be in business this long.

i took my old car there and they seemed to do a pretty good job. it was on an oldsmobile and the transmission never had an issue for the 40k+ miles driven on it til i told it. it was pricey though.

OK well guess I should get around to posting what was wrong with it  
Tourque converter hub was cracked and missing a piece as big as a thumbnail  
Spung a bearing inside the case  
Clutches were smoked  
and apparently it takes some extra special fluid that the tard that had it before me didnt use

I’ve heard really good things about AAMCO on 51…Gilece looks reputable but i never heard anything about them…What type of warranty do the give you?
