>>I think it is unlikely that your mechanic knows any more about your AT than I do, and I don't know them well at all. I inquired further on why he thought that the tranny was 'shot'. He said the it did not have 1st gear either, only 2nd. I asked how he came to that conclusion and he said that he was cruising at 25-30 mph and he tried to downshift to slow down , but it just stayed in the same gear. Well I guess this guy knows absolutely zilch about tranny's in general. Correct me if I am wrong, but just like a manual transmission, you cannot just down shift into 1st going that speed. When I drove the car to the mechanic, I downshifted to 1st the whole way to save using the brakes, but not untill I got within the correct speed range.
