$1000? Depends on the leak because fixing an auto trans can get costly quick.
If the car is nice I might do it but than I like autos.

maybe you should look for a replacement transmission first. I doubt they are worth much, since they are so undesirable.

Dude, a thousand-dollar '44 is a thousand-dollar '44. Probably a complete P.O.S.

Is the timing and balance belt due for replacement? If yes, that's another $1000 if everything is done right.
