Default My woes, shot me or my car

01 C70 The trans blew at 97k miles, the car has around 106k miles now and Im experiencing almost the same as before. After a decent time driving maybe 20 miles lets say I get a parking spot but have to reverse to line up better then goto D. Well it doesnt engage right away.

I swear the dealer is using reg atf with B+g additive instead of the correct fluid but cant get proof.

Any thoughts on what I should do? I about to trade this piece of crap in

What about the neutral position switch? I had an 850 that was that way until we changed the switch.

I am so leaning towards the Scion Tc. I plan on taking the C to the dealer and getting it checked out. Neutral switch I havent thought of, Ill check that out.
It doesnt it all the time, so maybe it is the switch

The switch gets ""slack or slop" in it and does not tell the computer where its at. It wasa real pain on the 850 as it was hidden and I remember that we had to cut the holders on the wire harness and tape it tight.

Good luck.
