that sucks about your tranny... mines been shifting weird in the cold for
several years. i'm waiting for the same thing to happen... check into the
mopar performance tranny also. it's actually much cheaper than the regular
one. i can get the pn# at home if you want. also try and find someone who
works at dcx to get you a discount. my dad gets 25% on parts... also some
dealerships give discounts on mp parts. one by me gives %30... there price
for the A500 mp tranny is like $1100 or so... labor sounds kind of high
also. i was quoted $400 for a tranny install at a dealer by me...
good luck...
