That really is sickening news for me! I am on under 1800 a month fixed income most of that goes to bills. I've always looked at my car as my alternative house if my monthly income takes a hit; and that seems to be an actual possibility.

I just looked it up and it does mean it needs to remove the entire transmission so it'll need a major surgery! Not in my level of abilities. The hunt for a shop or another car begins. Is there any guess as to the cost of such surgery? I'm glad this is all happening near my home and not 150...
