1 Transmission Fluid Leaking problem

Failure Date: 06/03/2010

2000 Rx300 transmission failure at approximately 121,000 miles . . . Dealer does not do rebuilds, so quoted for $4100 a new one without any detailed information on what exactly was wrong with it. Had it towed to reputable specialist, and was told a rebuild would cost more than a "re-manufacture" . . . $3600 + tax for 12 month warranty. Got it done, brought it home the 1st day and is leaking transmission fluid so need to bring back for a possible fix or swap. Not happy. No other mechanical issues with the car for the 7 years we've owned it.
