Come on guys.Surely someone with this knowledge could answer this question.I am just trying to save some money before going to a stealership.I can give an arm but not a leg to boot.You know what they would charge and then it might be the process of elimination and that can be costly.This is on Ford with the V10 and R400 trans I believe.Thanx
