I just called Huffines and talked to Betty up in service. After dropping the transmission they said the reaction shell had failed. So in order to replace all of this, the total cost is close to $1,100. Not nearly the price of a new transmission! I’m slightly pleased with this news. Included in the price is all the diagnostic work and a mini-overhaul (new gaskets, fluids, etc). We’re waiting to hear back from my rep at GM to see what will happen next as far as any aide in repairs.

Stay tuned for more fanciness.
