In Jan. of this year my husband took my car in to have the transmission flushed. Since then, my car has had one transmission problem after another. Approx a week after the flush, we noticed a leak and took it in. They claimed to have fixed it and brought it home and the same thing happened. Anyway, they have replaced gaskets and the pan and today, we just noticed it is still leaking. We are taking it to a different place instead to see what is wrong. Its leaking quickly and only after the car has been driven for more than 20 mile distances. What's most likely going on? Could it be from the flush? We have only encountered these problems since they worked on it.
How much should it cost to fix it AND the car is only worth about 4500 so is it even worth it to rebuild if we are planning on trading it in soon?

Sorry, I know thats more than one question.... Thanks!
