Well, I took my car to the "Transmission Guy" and was told that it would cost $2,944 for a transmission overhaul
and $40 for a temp sensor replacement.
Now, I may be blonde, but with a trasmission overhaul they don't replace the transmission, do they? Basically all I'm paying for is labor, right? If that's the case, he's pretty much trying to screw me, huh?
As for the temp sensor, when the check engine light came on in my car before, I took it to Auto Zone and had them hook it up to the computer and get the code. They said it needed a new temp sensor and gave me the part I needed (or so I thought). My brother-in-law replaced it, but the light didn't go off.
The transmission guy said that there are
3 temp sensors, and that the wrong one was replaced. He said I need to replace the computer temp sensor. I'm curious to know if there are indeed 3 different temp sensors or if he's just full of it trying to get more money out of me. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
