just dropped off my car to the mechanic to do some exhaust replacement and inspection II. i'm crossing my fingers on the tranny issue because it is leaking fluid. the mechanic will replace all the $eal$ inside the tranny and see if this would solve the "leaking" issue. there is nothing wrong with my tranny is just leaking fluid. right now, i'm stuck driving a rental car , underpowered kia rio. i hope i don't end up driving one of these (nothing personal) when i have no choice, but to sell my e34.
