    I was replying to this 10 minutes ago, but God decided to intervene with a heavy storm that knocked my power out.

    Anyway, Danielle, this may or may not be what you are experiencing, but I have noticed my car doing something every once in a while. Basically, it feels like a jerk, but its being caused because just as the trans shifts to OD I hit an incline and it shifts right back to 3rd.

    So basically, in under a second it goes 3 to 4 to 3 and makes a jerky, stumbling reaction. Hopefully that is all you are experiencing.

    It's probably that, cuz its more of a jerk/stumble than a slip. I went ahead and put a bottle of Lucas in anyways just for fun. Lee tried to get it to do it last night after it did it to him and it wouldn't do it again. Both times have been on a flat stretch of road. I'm not to worried since everything else under my normal conditions is smooth as butter.
    I just did the filter and fluid on it last summer and all was fine when I dropped the pan. My driving hasn't changed so I don't see why it would just randomly start going out. I'm pretty nice to it 95% of the time.

    Feel stupid for even asking, but this should be one of the pieces I need to fix my car right?

    04 08 Pontiac Grand Prix Front Bumper Header Panel Impact Bar w O Hardware | eBay

    The only damage found by both myself, and the insurance adjuster was the headlight, the hood, and the panel the headlight sits in. I would consider that panel the header panel. That looks like what I want, but I need someone to verify it for me, because I don't want to buy something I am not going to need.

    Ebay is last course of action. I want to try to find one local first because I can probably get one for less than $50.

    Thanks.

    And yea it hit kind of highish. Only damage on the bumper cover that could be found is some scuffs.

    I emailed a yard from Craigslist that had a 04 listed for parts, but unfortunately its hit in the front. I am going to start calling other yards in the area. Depending on the weather I might run out to a local U-pull-it tomorrow. Only issue is going to be, how will I get the hood home if I find one.
