Description of the problem	Transmission was slipping in first and second gear. So i went to the dealer and they told me i needed a trans. Ok, i bought a used trans because they said i could"nt get a new one. Well as soon as i pulled out on to the road after they installed the trans it started to do the same thing it was doing when i took it in the first time. Well, they told me they had to put it on the computer to reset it. Well that worked. My problem is that i asked them if they could reset it when i first took it to them and they said no. Well why did they reset it the second time and not the first time? I think i bought a trans that i did"nt need in the first place. Now i have 174,441miles on my car.
