Like, first of all, I'm going to tell them to park the car until I figure out what's going on but like is that even possible?? I guess it's possible but is it likely? I'm at the point where the car is old, enough money has already been put into it and I don't know if it's worth it to keep putting a couple grand more into it. Saddens me but it's the truth.

I feel like maybe the RMS was the only failure? Canthe AOS fail possibly do that?
I’ve never heard of that happening, but it does sound plausible. Ultimately that would be your choice to make, but if it was my car I’d have it towed back home and start pulling the tranny.

Has the rms ever been replaced?
