id look for a 2nd opinion. sometimes you can get by with replacing an outside solenoid or even a solenoid close to transmission filter. ofc dealerships/shady shops will tell you you need a whole ass tranny because there is more money in that than replacing a 200usd solenoid in nearly under an hour. there are ways to test the outside solenoids for electrical resistance and smooth operation.

naw she’ll be alright. be a gentleman and throw a spare on, test drive it and see what all sounds funky. prob fine tho
