Re: Cost to repair? Inspection results and lifter question

what they probly mean by leaking at the pan is you just need to take it off and put a new gasket on there. Scrape off the old on and clean the bottom of the transmission where the gasket is going to go so theres no liquid.
Then make sure there pan is nice and clean too so you can get the gasket nice and flat on there.
Then take some gasket sealer and put a thin layer on the pan and spread nice and even and then bolt it back up.
Or you have a hole in your tranny pan.
As for the other stuff, I cant anwser those.
GL though, maybe try a trust worthy mechanic that is a small buisness and they will probly be able to help you more on the older cars like yours.
