Are those prices inclusive of the tranny kit and such or just the labor charge? Not a bad price for everything, close to what I was expecting it to be.

I've had this done twice before by my local dealer. The $250 includes the transmission oil filter (part number 140-277-00-95), the pan gasket (part number 140-271-00-80), the lock pin (part number 140-991-00-55), the fluid (part number 001-989-21-03-10), labor, and a car wash.

Hey all - not on here much anymore (car is also for sale - need to post it up still, just haven't had time recently with the holidays and such) but I responded to "htown's" PM he sent me.. and figured I'd post the response here for others incase they run into the same problem or were curious of the result. (and what MY fix was)

so what finally fixed your issue with p1580 and rough idle at startup with bas/esp and CEL. I am having the same problem. a new Throttle actuator is now $2000. Hoping for a cheaper fix. fingers crossed. Thanks.

Hi there - I eneded up taking mine apart, noticed a crack in the corner of throttle body actuator housing (metal). Turns out, the way it was positioned off my supercharger intake pipe, it had been rubbing against the insider fender, wore a crack/hole in it, allowed much moisture to get in... thus, it was full of water and allowed a little bit of grime to get in as well. Anyway, separated the housing halfs, emptied the water from it, clean the gears up, re-greased, reassembled, covered crack with duct tape (was little) - boom, problem went away. (for me anyway) I've since clocked it on the intake pipe and modified to allow for more clearance in the area.

Haven't had any problems since ..and that was probably more than a year ago now. IIRC

Hope yours is a simple fix as well - good luck!

-Jon
