I can sympathize wih you in regards to the tranny.I had my mechanic go over my car prior to me going down to Chappy's upcoming event.He stated the tranny fluid (with only 15k since last flush) looked "slimey".I asked to see the filter and we opened it up and blamo....obvious metal shavings from the needle bearing.My advice...take it in under the warranty.
