Well, the Transmission shop guy (Who is very cool by the way) told me today after doing a code scan and checking everything out, that it's definitely the solenoid pack on my transmission that's gone bad.

I laughingly made the comment that if I had a lift I could make the repairs myself. He looked at me, smiled, and said for $50 I could borrow his lift and his tools for the day and repair it myself if I really wanted to.

I just ordered my Filter and Fluid kit from ID Parts, I'll order my solenoid and pan cover (don't ask) tomorrow...

Guess who's saving about $500 in shop labor a week from Monday?

Yeah, it's nice to have a friend with a lift, especially when he lets you borrow it! In this case sounds like he actually diagnosed the problem too. Hope it goes well.
