Trans Snafu and ???

I've always wondered what was meant when someone used the term "the trans was gone through," before this or during that. I usually took it to mean the trans' useful life had been "gone through" by the previous owner and serious rebuild work would soon be due.

No, "gone through' would mean it was taken apart, inspected, cleaned and any thing needing replacing was done. It does not necessarily mean that the trans was rebuilt. It's common practice if the car is under warranty to just fix whatever is wrong and not rebuild the entire trans, although it may have been inspected, cleaned, and reassembled.

In Eric's case, since he just had the trans done we'll probably just limit the repair to the damaged pump. Although we are sure to look it over while we're in there, there's no need to replace all the seals and clutches again.
