West Chicago, ILOn 10/03/01 I took my 1993 Isuzu Rodeo to Aamco Transmissions in Wheaton, Illinois since my check transmission light was flashing and it would bog down on acceleration. Aamco-Wheaton informed me that they could do an electronic diagnostic on the Rodeo for $165.00. Well, that turned up nothing, as expected and for a total of $465.00 they will open up the transmission and take a look at it.
As you guess, that turned up everything...according to them I needed my transmission rebuilt at the cost of $2,479.08. Well, they did it. I picked up my Rodeo on 10/12/01 and within a week experenced the same problem as when I originially took it in. I took it back 5 sepereate times and was told that it must be the gas that I was using. Apparently Mobil gas is not good enough, they suggested that I use Shell. Give me a break!
Finally on 11/2/01, it did it again, the check trans light was flashing and I was able to make it to Aamco. Well, diferent story now. They had the Rodeo from 11/02/01 to 11/28/01. Since 10/03/01 when I orginially took it in, till 11/28/01 when I got it back they have had the Rodeo a total of 36 days! This time they claim it was the 'force motor' within the transmission. Well, within 5 hours of picking the Rodeo up, I am back to square one, my check transmission light is flashing! Aamco Corporate is going thru the motions but have not done anything to assist me. I have requested a copy of all the parts replaced at least 5 times now and still do not have them. They will not allow me to take it to the dealer, although that is who Aamco-Wheaton kept calling for assistance.
I am currently without a vehicle again. I am out $2,479.08, and no one at Aamco seems to be to concerned with helping me, but why should they, they already have my money!
Word of advice, stay away from Aamco.

Proper Diagnosis: A diagnosis of this trans a 4l30e which is basicly the same as a catera caddy~~~~~~~an some bmw models~~~~includes oil pressure specs along with electrical diagnosis~~~this will determine if fault is hydralic or electric.
With a internal inspection mechanical damage is verified. The sucton filter needs to be disasembled to determine damage, if not present in the open pan inspection.~~~The pan inspection is LAST in the checks if any of the pressure checks fail~~electical checks for values of solonoids/electric pressure control solonoids/lock up solonoids can all be done without removal of pan to verify (electrical) operation of parts.
Hydralic sides of these parts are verified with the pressure checks~~~if the hydralics don't check out it could be internal or at the electrical parts. This is determined by bench test of the parts by a solonoid tester for leaks.
This requires them to be removed. Since i'm sure this whole situation was improper diagnosis~~~that your problem seems to be a fuel or fuel control related problem.
Which would have not required any work at the transmission~~other than electrical sensors~~~i would be happy to help you with questions you could ask to help resolve this~~~~~thanks joe~~~~~32 years exp~~~~~~drivetrain tech
