So I've been putting it off for about a month now, but my I'm 99.9% sure my transmission needs to be replaced. I've done just about everything except check the solenoids because that's out of my difficulty level although I plan on bringing it into the shop to have them tested, I just know its a pain in the *** cause they have to drop the pan and it isn't easy/cheap.

Here is the thread I posted a while ago about my troubles with the AW4;

If I end up buying a used transmission I know it will be pricey, but I found some online for $251.00 shipped, and then to have someone install it will be another $350, but this is the one I plan on buying if the solenoid doesn't end up being the problem;

It's the 2nd one listed on that page. What do you guys think?

I don't think its the solenoids cause yesterday and today it shifted perfectly fine, no problems whatsoever...

I'm starting to think it's not the solenoid because if it was wouldn't it just not work at all rather then sometimes here and there?

Also, I've changed it twice in the last 3,000 miles. I bought it with 100,000 miles on it, now it has 106,000, The guy before me didn't change it at all I believe...

What do you guys think about this?

i don't understand what's keeping you from doing it yourself.....?

I'm not that mechanically inclined...

I changed my transmission fluid (drop the pan etc) and was extremely proud and thought that was a challenge...so removing the transmission and installing a new one is a whole new world I'm not sure I'm ready for just yet.
