Survey says-failed weld on Low Sun Gear shell where the gear is attached to the drum. $1600 including tax. Should be done today.

I just picked it up. Drives just like before. $1537 with Tax-they gave me a cash discount

Well, it's been back for 17 days, and the snow was not too kind. A kid driving a Honda Pilot slid into the corner of the rear bumper on the drivers side. At least he is OK. Pushed the corner in a few inches-looks crappy. The bumper cover on the Pilot cracked.
