Those darned trouble codes are best viewed as a somewhat broad based "tool" and nothing more.
They don't tell you what the heck is actually wrong; they only help you to get into the right neighborhood to begin your analysis.
In Jim's case, the scanner retrieved a code P0758. So, this says that the computer has seen an electrical irregularity in the shift solenoid B circuitry. However, this means that the problem could be anywhere from the PCM/ECM clear down to the darned solenoid itself.
All it says is that the computer didn't see the solenoid snap for a period of 5 seconds from the time it was commanded. Very vague at best.
Now, (and you know what an azz I am about speaking my mind) any shop, service writer, or shop manager that wants to sell a fella an expensive complete transmission just to make this little problem go away, are actually saying, "We just don't have a clue about what is wrong". And frankly, they just flat don't know that they are talking about.
They WANT to sell that unit. It takes all the responsibility of a diagnosis/repair off of them and puts it right back on you and your pocketbook. Instant large amount of cash in their coffers without them actually doing anything.
You're right about that SRTA warranty tho. The shop wants it probably more than the owner. :>)
Like someone said earlier in the week, these are a fairly easy unit to repair, but Hey! How's about we take that $140 part and turn it into a $2K+ sale.........
Sorry fer the early morning rant; sure not directed at you.
But, I've seen this strong-arm tactic played out many, many times. Remember a fool of a shop manager one time trying to pull that same stunt over a plugged tranny filter. :>(
