200T Auto troubles

[Ameer Antar]

you need a new tranny. Rebuilds are possible but about the same cost and 
these tranny's aren't easy to rebuild, it's better to have it done 
professionally and w/ a real warranty. I have a friend who's been thru 3 
tranny's all thru local shops. He had to eat the cost of one of them. Every 
time it was the same problem, fluid leaked out of a seal...i hope others 
can give you some good sources for the 200. good luck.
