actually coming from there or wind was blowing it

Apparently they did a poor job replacing your transmission lines. Any damage to the vehicle is on THEM! When they balk at fixing it for free, threaten to contact your local Office of Consumer Affairs and the BBB. They'll change their tune. Hope that helps! Jim

Well my shop called me and they called in a transmission mechanic to help well now I was told it was a bad pressure solenoid . Since I had a leak the pressure couldn’t build up now née lines on pressure nowhere to go . My question is shouldn’t they of checked that out before putting them on? So it their trying to say it’s on my dime.
