I think I should start from the beginning...

Around April last year I was driving through Sutherland across a bridge and the car started slipping out of drive and the only way to be able to not hold up traffic was to completely turn the car of and then back on which would allow me to engage drive for a few seconds.

Turns out the transmission was screwed I have no idea what it could of been but i have seen the end result of shrapnel infested transmission fluid.

It has been what nearly 10-11 months since then and it is still not fixed, can someone describe me how hard a rebuild actually is, me and my mechanic have been waiting on so called "gear grinding and fine tuning" from a specialist who had lost the parts I personally drove to him.

Now I don't need any criticism about my mechanic it has been a side job for him and i haven't really cared till now as I do have another car.

But if someone could explain how hard it is and the cost involved it would be appreciated (i am paying 1700 max).

Thanks again!
