They got it home and it's still leaking. Now hubby thinks that it wasn't the transmission, it's this shaft thingy. It's vibrating and may be vibrating enough to cause the leak. So Ricky drove my van today. I told him to hang on with both hands because driving a van in the wind is a whole new experience.

That's what would happen to me or my hubby - we'd have work done and it wouldn't solve the problem - that's why hubby usually just says, "let's trade it in" LOL!!! I WISH I knew someone whom I could trust to fix my cars. Before we moved to Texas (25 years ago) I had a mechanic who was the son of my next door neighbors. I KNEW he was honest and would do only what was necessary to fix my car. Since then, it's a game of chance for me!
