In reading some of the posts here, it sounds like the tranny just might have gotten overheated.
She said it still drove fine, other than the fluid being really low.
Would it still run if the torque converter was "bad"?
I told her not to let them start tearing into the tranny, but to fill it with fluid and see if it is still leaking.
What would you do from here?
Thanks.

My brother is in Gainesville and has knowledge of PSD's. Would she be afraid of meeting him at the shop so he can take a look. I would give all hoses to the cooler a look at. The trans wouldnt shift or would be noticable if it were "bad".I also agree with Big Country about the front seal.
