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
