Another thing, if this Ajeya guy tells you there's some other problem too which you can and should fix along with the transmission repair, do not think he is trying to make more money from an unnecessary repair and if you can afford it, do it. He only tries to combine other future maintenance/repair items into one holistic job and its up to you whether you want to take his advice or not. It might save you a huge labour bill in future. For example, my car needed an oil seal. Cost of the seal? 35 rials...labour cost to drop the engine and transmission to change the seal? 1800 rials...he suggested I change not just that one seal but every other seal even if not leaking at the moment, to be safe. It cost me only an additional 500 for parts but now I have the peace of mind that my car will not leak a single drop of oil for a few years to come. Also, use original parts. And remember, be nice and loving to people and they will be nice and loving to you in return.
