I am not sure just yet. I will be taking it in on Tuesday. I am taking it to a very reputable trans shop, but I honestly don't know what options I have. We will have to discuss that.

Some guys on the forum said it was a sign of the from shaft bearing going bad, which causes the pump to fail.

Hopefully by this time next week it will be fixed.

Sounds like you have a good plan. I just had my tranny rebuild 4000 miles ago. Upgraded valve body, solnoids, and upgrade over stock torque converter. Make sure you have the latest updates in the rebuild.
