ok good. Thats exactly right. If you were to take some red kool-aid and put in a couple drops of engine oil in it, you would see more or less what hes talkin bout.
OK....so now we have an issue thats clear now. Get in contact with the shop that did the orignial tranny service. They need to be notified right away. And tell the other shop that you need thourough documentation of ALL work that was done and for what reason and ALL issues that they found, and that ALL needs to be presented TO THE MANAGER OR OWNER of the orignial shop. Dont even talk to anyone that is NOT one of those 2 people.
That would totally explain all the leaks that seem to be coming out of every possible place on that tranny. It would explain the speed sensor not working properly. If this were me, I would be getting a new tranny. I would raise such a fuss and make such a huge scene that I would get it I promise you!!
So as I said before, get ALL your documentation/reciepts and present them to the manager/owner of the orignial place. Take notice of thier attitude, if they seem like they wanna help then by all means let them try to fix thier mistake. If not then this is a PERFECT case for the Bureau of Automotive Repair.
What a lot of shops TRY to do in these cases.....Obviously its gonna cost them quite a bit of money to fix this, rather thats a refund for you from what the other shop did + a new tranny, so they will say something to the effect of "well yes we did this to your car, but we are only resonsible for blah blah blah, so in turn mr NDK you owe me this much money...." Thats horse shit!! You paid for a service that not only did you get fucked on, but cost you more money to fix it. Not one fuckin dime should come out of your pocket. PERIOD!! as a matter of fact if you played your cards right, you could get a refund for all the work

So I called the original shop owner he said if its been less than 3 months a warranty will cover it, if its more than 3 months he'll only charge me half price. I looked into it and it turns out its been 4 months since it was done. Im just so tired of this, all i want is my car to stop leaking. What now?

All right. Thats actually typical shop warranty, 90 days! BUT....Youve been spending some of that 4 months chasing down an issue that THEY CAUSED!!
And half price of what? a new tranny? that could be a couple grand to begin with.
I hate to say it, but dude you gotta get ahold of the bureau. The whole 90 day warranty thing might be slightly on thier side TBH, but you need to explain to them that, you were chasing problems that were caused by them and by the time you found out the warranty is gone. That aint fair!! The B.A.R. has the power to MAKE them fix it, or at least pay for having it fixed!! These people DO NOT fuck around. They are a bunch of nerds behind a desk that got nothing else better to do. You will get results within days!!!
If the original shop is found to be not at fault for whatever reason (which I highly dought) you take your lumps like a man and you learned something very valuable. the owner is not being totally unfair. Which is a positive. He couldve told you to go fuck yourself. He probablly said something to the effect of "Ill check it out, but if I find out it wasnt my fault, I charge you full price." trust me, I do that shit all the time. Its very easy to make it look like it wasnt your fault and then convince you the same. And then youll be calling the BAR then and it will just prolong things!!
Do it now. They will help you rather its thier fault or not!! You need to get that shit fixed before pasadena gets here!! you need to jump on this shit now, cause im DYEING to smack you around.....LOL

I'm not a car person, so bare with me on the lingo and whatnot.
My Dodge Derango apparently has a bad computer. When it gets to a certain temperature, it shutsdown for about 10-20 minutes, sometimes longer. We keep jugs of water in the car to help cool it down, but it doesn't help very much.
How would I fix this?
