John, Tommy, thank you for responding. So I have been on the phone with tranny shops here in Brooklyn and I have found one that is really not far from me and which seems like a reputable one. Over the phone, they listened to me give a brief rundown of what has been going on with my truck and my shop and he said, "Bring her in." After talking with them, I will have to make a decision about what will be done with the tranny. May the Lord help. -Alden
