yes, this is the '07 with the burnt valve that I replaced. I took it took a trans shop and they seemed fairly thorough going over the trans and a bunch of other stuff. They didn't crack it open, but based on all the symptoms, the reading, my history they told me I need a new trans.

I'd love to tackle this myself, I don't care how long it takes, but I wonder if it's possible for me to do it. I don't have a lift, if I know someone who does can I pull it, bring it home work on it there and then reinstall? Or can I can put the front wheels on ramps and jack up the rear and do it on my back (that sounds like it would not be fun).

I know I should junk it, or part it out, it's such a nice car. But I'm not ready to give up.

how much skill, special tools, $$ and time would I need to try to repair that tranny?
