Well, I had problems before when originally turboed. A dealership had to fix something with the shifter interlock wiring... not sure exactly what. That probably set off a whole chain of bad crap that was going on with the tranny.

Warranty most likely won't cover it so I'll have to pay for a tranny repair or replacement. Dealership wants $4k for a new tranny. I'm still looking at other options.

Yeah I've been looking for other places with 'em. They have some on eBay for approx $800 shipped which isn't bad. There's one with only 2k miles on it.

I don't know. I think it was a combination of a lot of things.

Sorry to hear about that!

If the dealership has already worked on it, then they know you've had issues. Couldn't you just pull the turbo and have them fix it?

It was worked on at a dealership once. I brought it to another dealership hoping they'd hook me up. If I need to revert it back to stock, I might take you up on the offer, Jeff. I have all my stock parts for a reason!

I most likely am still coming, but not with my car. I have a rental for work (My boss is awesome and paid for the rental car for me from today through monday).

The only thing that would prevent me from coming is if I have to drive my car up to a dealership to drop it off and don't have a ride back.
