heres a how to, for swapping your style pnp to a external one, so you can use the tranny for a older car. its right inside the side cover. not a $1200 job at all. if thats what the shop wants find another one.

if your at the dealership, get your car back and run away from them. they over charge for everything. aka ass raping prices.

this job can be done with out pulling the trans too if need be.
