    Well, in idle/Drive the car goes to 28mph/3rd gear all on it's own. It's always changing gears improperly. The car idles in park/neutral at 2000RPM. The car changes gears really, really hard so you can actually feel it. Etc. etc. etc.

    Fun, eh? Especially during the winter.
    You sure it's a transmission problem?

    Maybe you're already sure it is and if so, where in HELL can you get a complete rebuild for less than two grand?

    I'm not big on doing reviews, tobacco doesn't taste like "cocoa" or "nutty" or "mocha" to me, it tastes like freakin' TOBACCO. I know what I like and I really don't care what other people think of other cigars. I've never read a review and said to myself "Wow, that sounds like a cigar I'd like to try!"

    Yeah but if the transmission has major problems as you describe, it has to be removed from the car do fix whatever it needs. At that point, it's crazy to not completely go through the whole thing, replacing all the seals, friction plates and the steels so honestly, I still don't see how it can be done for less than $1,500.00 to $2,000.00

    Oh, and like ggiese said, WE NEED PRICES on those Fuentes!!!
