Not quite clear on your answer: It doesn't roll at all in Neutral? Like it's locked in park?

$2000 for a transmission is freaking rediculous. I got a quote like that for my 1995 stratus trans. I ended up fixing it for under $100 but it took a few days of labor for me to remove the transmission, determine problem, find parts, fix and assemble.

Doesn't roll in Neutral with engine running: problem is destroyed planetary gears.

Doesn't roll in Neutral with engine off: Diff pin jambed against case.

There is one main thing that causes that failure: Trans cooler blockage.
