    I would say if the car is under 120,000 miles, it is very unlikely the car has a transmission issue that required a rebuild.

    $2500? That is cheap enough... what are you waiting for?

    530s are a extra special pain in the ass to check the fluid, in the bottom of the pan theres a hole up into the pan with a big plug in the top of it, get the tranny warmed up pull the plug and squirt fluid up and into the pan till it runs out, dextron III will work ok, you will need some sort of pump with a short piece of tube to stick up into the tranny's *******, you gotta sorta squirt at a angle to get it in the pan or it will just fall back down out of the gaping *******

    LOL... All I did was drill a hole on the cap for the tube to slip through tightly... and the just squeeze the bottle to fill the tranny. The bigger the tube, the faster and easier to fill... I used clear tube but any tube would work as long you got the drillbit to do it.

    budget in a new trans, you could get lucky with a fluid issue but lets think here, he is selling it for what reason: a slipping trans? He is scared of replacement costs.
