2.8Sleeper

I previously hit a pothole in NYC and broke the oil pan and the transmission fluids leaked. Went to Biener Audi in Long Island and replanced the oil pan and gasket and they refilled the tranny fluid and it was working for a while. Last Sat, the tranny just died on me and the car was towed to Biener and they told me the tranny is finally dead and said would cost me $8600 plus labor to fix. Any thoughts as to what I should do? Should I take it to another mechanic and get a second opinion? Or should I consider just trading the car in (that'd probably take a chunk out of my residual value)...please help as I am pretty clueless at this point. Thanks

No more warranty?

Dealer isn't offering warranty because the tranny wouldn't have died if it didn't hit a pothole in the first place

Well considering that the car has only 33000mi and is a '00...junking it would be too early...I think

they should cover it.

If a pothole wrecked your tranny, then the city must pay.

no no.. find tranny in a junk yard, not hard to do.. search car-part.com

I say its the dealers fault, they replaced the oil pan.
