Just fell out of 3rd. wife limped it another mile to her work in 2nd. Works in low range. Wife has to work.Trans is not gutted. Vehicle in very good shape and is worth throwing a tranny at it, only if needed

Testimonial: "You know, you guys are right, And it took this post to just settle me down and realize the way it really is! I was so wound up because she is 150 miles away, (where I don't know anybody) in other words a reputable trans business to get her to! It is my luck to get the only crooked guy out there and get stuck buying a trans. I didn't really need. However I'm smart enough to know that (even if grandma only drove this vehicle in fair weather and only on Sundays)hehe it still has a lot of miles and stuff wears out! Upon further checking it does in fact still have 3rd gear, it is just trying to start there instead of 1rst. I may get lucky and just be elec. (a solenoid or something) I have not done anything with it yet as its been the weekend. The vehicle is sitting in North Ogden Ut. if anyone knows a legit place I can trust, please send the info my way, it would be appreciated. Again thank you for your quick response. Do you guys recommend a trans shop or the dealer?"
Testimonial: "Hey, Thank you for responding so fast. I had my son-in-law pull the code out (with a real scan tool)and over the phone he told me. Sorry, this vehicle breaking down at this particular time really had me wound up and I realize I posted in haste. I left you guys hardly any info on the vehicle and sounded like you all had a magic cure! haha I am not an auto tranny man by no means and it shows.I was wondering if Chrysler Jeep SUV's had this similar problems with a lot of theses same vehicles and it might be an easy fix. I know their pcm, tcm's went bad a lot in my day. lol Are you anywhere near Ogden Utah where the vehicle is sitting? hahaha.I want to thank you again for responding! Brian"

Testimonial: "You know if I was a customer of yours, I wouldn't be for very long. Do you actually talk to people that come in off the street with problems like that? My God, I know I'm ignorant to transmission repair, and if I didn't you just made it crystal clear. You sound like some young punk that happens to know something about what a transmission does. Good Luck to you, Brian Craig"
