Question Where's a good place in orlando to get my transmission checked?

my transmission has been acting funny. for the past week my car has had trouble starting, after a couple times of trying it finally starts and the 2nd gear start button is on (auto). the past 2 days i've been hitting the button before i turn the key and it starts fine. well today i was driving home and when i pulled into my neighborhood i noticed my car kinda shift funny. i got to my house and was pulling into my driveway and the car would barely make it up when i was giving it a lot of gas. i haven't checked my transmission fluid yet, but i haven't seen it leak so i think thats ok. i think its a computer problem b/c of the electronic crap. i really need to go in tomorrow (fri) somewhere b/c i'm scared to drive my car. anyone know of a good place in orlando that can do a test w/ the electronic transmission for a good price and not rip me off?

well i took the car to sarasota b/c we know a guy there we trust to not rip us off. my dad called and said it's definitely something internal and its getting ripped apart. also the day i drove it home i noticed the engine acting funny. the guy at the tranny shop said theres something wrong w/ the engine too, so its going into another shop after it gets a rebuilt transmission. i have a feeling this is all going to cost over $2K. to me its not worth fixing if the engine is real bad b/c the car isn't worth much at all. since i'm not paying for it i can't really complain.

i'm driving a rental right now, an 04 nissan sentra. decent car, beats driving a focus. thanks for the replies for orlando area shops.
