help! tranny problems!

[MK1Scirocco16v at comcast.net (Dave Ewing)]

Sounds like SMS to me!!  Sorry to say, but I couldn't see how a seal could
dump all your fluid that quick.  Just pull the thing out.  Looks like your
gonna have to anyway.  I don't know about your pick-a-parts but you can pick
up your choice of a tranny in my yard for something like $65 plus your core.
ACN, FN, 4K, whatever you find.  HTH!
