Ok, thanks for that info. That's very helpful!!! I have an appointment at an AAMCO this week to get pricing on a new trans, re-man trans, and a used trans. Hoping for the best. I'm assuming this isn't something one would tackle at home? I'm confident in my skills over the years, but the work space looks so tiny its daunting. lol

2014 c max non-plug in. 160k, had it since 120k. runs and drives great! still gets almost 40 mpg. took it in for recall and while it was there asked about the loud whining noise when the ICE starts up. After 2-3 days was told "there's no fluid in the trans due to a case half leak, and the whole trans needs replacement" .....at a cost of almost $10k!!!!! Now I understand stand auto-trans and am unsure how it can be "out of fluid" but still running and driving ok. Also, how can it be the trans when it makes the noise when not moving? Thanks in advance, I really love me car and don't want to sell it.
