What makes you think it needs any work at all? Is it not shifting correctly? Repair shops can be real scam artist.

That was my first thought, every once and a while it will downshift when it shouldn't so we figured to have the fluid/filter changed, then the bill kept climbing

$2500 seems a little ridiculous. As Jon said, check with Shane. Shocked

Bring it to me. I can beat that price by a long shot. If it needs to be built that is. It probably doesnt though. Very Happy
