Chrysler Repair: Eagle Talon, auto transmissions, eagle talon

Question
The car has been towed to a transmission shop for an estimate of damage and price.  The eighth no of the VIN is U  I would like to keep this car if it is at all feasible.  As much as I like it I don't want to keep repairing it.  I did track down some used parts prices.  Caveman auto parts in the US wants $250.00 plus shipping, for the transmission assembly which may keep the repair down.  Minimum installation here is $500.00 without complications.  (clutch etc)  I will know better what is wrong when the estimate comes in.  Keep you posted.  Many thanks   Cheryl  

Answer
Cheryl,keep in mind that "most" transmission shops replace
the bbad unit with a re-built one on the shelf and.99%of
there work comes from auto transmissions.I think at one time I was the only tech. in 100q. miles that could repair
a standerd trany.Most of the work I have done,two people
before me "fixed" the problem !!A young man who thinks
he knows alot,most of the time gives the good old guys like
me a bad name. I feel bad for people when there car has to go to the shop. I hope this helps. thankyou  tm.
