I meant to make a comment in Matt's defense, but forgot after answering the original question.

What she had to remember is that there is no way anyone could know that anything is about to break in the transmission. Lee and I have broken many of them, and they alomost NEVER give any warning. The only way he could know it was about to go out was to actually open up the case... and that would be way more trouble than just fixing the problem.


Stangchick, please don't take all of this as us bashing you. We just want you to realize that the transmission being on the verge of breaking could not have been the reason for selling the car.
