Re: [DML] Automatic



Before your mechanic tears the transmission apart,
test the electronic shift control.  They are a common
failure on the Automatic cars.

As far as cost goes, if you handy with a soldering
iron you can probably fix it yourself.  Otherwise,
some of the vendors have a rebuild service where they
also improve the design a bit to prevent future
problems.
