Yea I will ask him tonight what exactly needs to be replaced. He has 30+ years experience as a mechanic so I'm guessing its not just a torn boot. I did find a guy on craigslist parting out his 01 trooper with AT failure. I would need to drive an hour to pick up the axle but he said $100. I looked it up and it is the same ratio as our VX 4.30. Is $100 a good price?
