Did the transmission shop do the work and how much did they charge you to do the Cam shaft position sensor(s)?

That would have to be your call.

A drain and refill will probably take care of it. Drain it after a long drive (not a short warm up). Get that fluid good and hot to free up that grit and get it out of there. At least the Rostras are...
