Transmission Leak

Well, it happened. My 2005 Rt is leaking transmission fluid on the garage floor. It has 57,000 miles on it. Off to the dealer tomorrow. Suppose the 70k drive train warranty will cover everything over $100. I guess it's the typical 13 pin electrical connector leak. I tried to put it on ramps to check but the floor was too slick causing the ramps to slide and it was raining outside where the drive way is rougher.

Don't feel bad mine leaked after 5K. Fixed under warranty. I was gone for a week and when I came back it was all over the garage floor.

Got it fixed today. It was the 13 pin connector. Dealer charged the $100 deductible. Had them change the tranny fluid while it was in. That cost a total of $206. They quoted $169. Then added 11% for shop disposables and then tax. They used BG synthetic ATF fluid. They also mentioned they would use a "conditioner". I said, Oh No, no conditioner. When I picked it up I was told they put a "cleaner" in the old fluid before flushing. If I had known about that I would have insisted that they do not use the cleaner. Anyway the 60k tranny fluid change is done at 57k.
