I'm well aware of how auto tranny's work. I have formal training in
them and have worked on more than a few.

transmit motive power.<

Incorrect. What do you think a torque converter does? It's a fluid
coupling. And how has GM refered to it's transmissions for years? 
Your advice is usually sound but as with many do-it-yourselfers you
exhibit a lack of the formal and indepth technical training
professionals have. With all due respect I service all kinds of exotic
vehicles for a living. Do you?

I agree with you otherwise. The worst thing someone can do is to
ignore a problem because as with overhaul of all things what matters
is the condition of the core. I'm not speaking of core charges. I'm
speaking of the cost or feasability of rebuilding the core.
