A "Happy" Thanksgiving present

Had to drop the auto off at the dealership...tranny was slipping like crazy. Gotta love the auto, had to pay 250$ for the flush and then they said "O yah, we're not sure if this is gonna fix it or not". So now, in the next week, I get to decide if the car will last or if I get to drop an additional grand on a new trans...at least I have MY health

Was it the original tranny? You'll probably need to drop a G. And yeah, that'll happen with our cars.
