I took the truck by a Juffy Lube after work. The fluid was about a half quart low. He showed me where most of the nine bolts in the transmission pan were finger tight (source of fluid leak) and that the seals were not leaking bad. I'm wondering if the AAMCO guys loosened the bolts. They had it on the lift for half an hour before they proclaimed the trans to be "trashed". It took the Jiffy Lube guy about 10 seconds to find the problem. I definitely smell a rat. If not a rat, an incompetent AAMCO mechanic.
