I would consider taking the car elsewhere... If you tell us what state you're in, I'm sure someone here could recommend a [cheaper] independant shop... I recall when I thought the tranny on my '88 was going out that it would cost about $1900... Still a lot of money, but better than $3500... And PLEASE - if you decide you aren't going to fix it, let me know, as I would be very interested in it... -Justin
