How hard is it to fix a transmission pump on a 2001 Lincoln ls

Well you'd have to remove the transmission, pull off the torque converter and open up the front of the transmission to see what the damage might be. So, not exactly a DIY operation in your driveway. The problem with opening up an automatic transmission is the "while we're in there" situation---the transmission is out, much of it is in pieces, and so patching it up internally without a full rebuild could turn out to have been a waste of time and money.

How do you know the pump is the problem?
