We just got back from picking up my car with a new transmission! : ) YAY! It seems to be running quieter and shifting fine, but different than before. I guess I'm just used to a not-so-good trans. (BTW, I don't know if I'd be cheering if this wasn't covered under my Power Train warranty.)
Here's and excerpt from my invoice, describing the problem:
"Dropped trans. Pan had metallic bits on bottom & magnets looked like sea urchins. Contamination was throughout trans."
I guess "Sea Urchins" is a technical term. : ) I can see how magnets would look like sea urchins if there were little particles of metal attached all over them.
Anyway, that is that. : ) "Trinity the Infiniti" is back to her job of driving me to work, school, and dancing.
And, I know it's silly, but I think she's happy to be out of the car hospital. She looked happy to see me, and I her.
Can cars smile?
