so....2500 eh....

what is the breakdown on that? Parts vs labour? and what parts did they quote you?

I might be able to get a better price for you...if its just a leak, I wouldnt think it would need a pump, unless you have had any other trans concerns while driving. Probably just needs to be resealed.

I am the trans tech at Evans Ford...I see you are in mississauga, my dealer is located at dundas and hwy 427, so its probably not all that far away. Im pretty busy right now, ive got quite a few jobs on the go right now, but if you want to bring it by for me to check out your trans, I would be willing to check it out and give you a second opinion.

Yep, alternator is dead. Ford called me this morning and told me, but since the alt has a 5 year warranty at Crappy Tire from being replaced last year, I had the car towed over there and they are replacing it now. I only have to pay for labour.

There wasn't really an official quote for the trans pump and they are not saying that it needs to be replaced - they are just saying it MIGHT need to be. They fixed or tightened several bolts on the transmission pan and supposedly that is where the main leak was - but they also put some die in the fluid so that if it continues to leak they can trace where it is coming from.

I guess the alternator and transmission leak are two different issues, that just happened to occur on the same day. :(
