Before you get a tranny rebuild, how bad is it? There was a similar thread a few months back where many people reported that occasionally they didn’t get first gear fully engaged when at a stop, like a stoplight. I’ve had that issue since I bought my car nearly 5 years ago. I have just gotten into the habit of making certain first is fully engaged before letting out the clutch. The issue is still there, but it is rarely a problem since I double check it is fully engaged before pulling away from a stop. I’m sure as hell not rebuilding my tranny over it.

Did you not his drain plug above? That, does not look pretty, but it does look expensive.

It might end up being a more expensive repair later.
the factory rec of 90k before gear oil change is hopelessly optimistic. i change it w delvac about every 40k miles. that's twice so far since my g'box was refreshed.
