    Blown Transmission Cooling line

    Was driving to Denver in my VX when my "A/T Temp Light" went on. I slowed down and drove in the right lane and 10 minutes later it went off. I got off the highway came to a stop and when I accellerated the transmission slipped pretty bad. Got to my destination and found some tranny fluid under the VX. Dark and rainy I could not diagnose. Called Jake up with Warrior Automotive the next day and he set up a tow for me. We tried to save it by repairing the line, installing a filter and re-filling it, but it was gone. Spent the next few days at Jakes shop installing a used transmission he had in another VX. Everything is back and running well. Jake not only rescued my VX but did it with a broken wrist! He also taught me a ton about the Vehicross while I was there, and I'm so grateful for his time and patience.

    Thank You JAKE! I owe you big.
