shop called... gonna cost me $15k to have everything they found wrong with my car fixed.... Worst part is, my warranty expired in May, and the car felt fine before this problem.

So its:
$6k for tranny
$2k for oilpan and timing cover oil leak
$1.4 reseal my diff (which was leaking)
$2k for flex disc
and some other things which I for got now.....

stupid repairs is costing me as much as the car. I shoulda just bought one back in 1998 brand new. Thats how much I'll end up spending to repair it.

BTW I'm not having the dealership do it. I have an E55 tranny lined up and gonna cost much less.
