i got the transmission fluid flushed at my mechanics. i dont believe they removed the pan. now it is leaking all over the bottom. hardly any left .
i didnt think to check the fluid level until it started slipping and the check engine light came on. i just had it done and wouldnt have seen any reason to check it.
so dodgenitto u are right- mechanics flushed the trans oil, now its leaking horribly,very very low trans oil left in it, transmission slipping/burning smell , check engine lights on.

Thanks, but I bought them from a friend who works at dealership. Got them both with a front axle seal for $39

no we were just working on it in the dark but i mean the entire thing is just covered. its not dripping on the ground tho.
another thing i was thinking maybe if i do need to replace the tranny, was to try to get one off of a wrecked ram? maybe try to save money or is this not the place to try to take shortcuts?

But if it was your mechanics fault then THEY need to buy you a new one, or a re-built one at the very least.

To the OP. If your mechanic wont make it right and you end up holding the candle, I saw a couple transmissions on ebay the other day. They come out of wrecks and there were 2 of them for $725 a piece and another hundred or so for shipping. Might help until you can save to put something better in there.

Second option pay an attorney a couple hundred for a phone consultation with him and he will probably settle with you then.
