I just called the used car dealer that I got the car from. His mechanic is going to check it for free. Lucky for me, I signed on (just) for the used car warranty program through the dealer... ($300 at his cost... so he says.)
He said that my plan covers the first 1500 per incident up to the price of the car over 2 years... It luckily includes the electrical stuff inside the transmission ect, not just the power train... so I guess i lucked out.. in a sad way.
