There is no such thing as a "straight V6". You EITHER have a straight 6 or a
V6.

HINT
It is not a V6.

1 -- you need another shop.

2 -- you probably need to add fluid --at the very least -- or replace the
fluid you have (which is my advice).

I think your first course of action is to get your trans flushed out. I had
a transmission flush not long ago, the cost was $70, and it solved lots of
problems I was having.
