One transmission shop tells me I have no "computer" transmission controller another says Yes, I do.
One shop says, its "splines" are stripped, requires pulling out the entire transmission. Same for cleaning the "filter", another says NO, this is wrong.
One says my Ford transmission is really a "Mazda" transmission made in Japan, and that's why it is "bad".
Then another shop said everyone is wrong.
They say just pull off a hose going to the radiator and see if the transmission is "pumping". If its not, that will tell the story.
They say they will tow it in, and do a "free" estimate, BUT--, if I don't have THEM fix it after they tell me what's wrong---, or I can't afford it, THEN its NOT free!
Is the entire (transmission) industry NUTS like this?? Vague, misleading, and seems to border on criminal---, UNLESS you agree to spend between $1,200- $1,700 for a "re-build" job you may not need??
