Well, I broke down and sent the car in to have the tranny pulled and a low mile used one put in. Bought a low mile tranny from Morad Parts and had it shipped to me...... Price was decent for the miles.
Wanted to originally do it myself, but the time is never there for me to do it.
Bought a new VSS, Torque Converter, solid motor mount, tranny mount, oil pan gasket (since it's leaking, and it will be right there easy to change with everything dropped
), trans filter and gasket, and tranny fluid. Man that crap is expensive. Over $100 for just the fluid!
Anyways, the car has 185k on it, so I'm not too concerned with the used tranny. When the motor goes I'm swapping to SC'd. with a rebuilt trans from TrannyMan!
Hope all goes well with this trans!!! As soon as it comes out of the shop, I'm taking it on a road trip....:th_nervous:
Hopefully it will be done Mon. or Tues.
When I bought the car, the trans started acting up within a week.:th_shakinghead2: RPMs fluctuating at steady hwy speeds. When I stop at a light and push firmly on the gas pedal, the car started to shudder and feel like it was kicking in and out of gear. Shifts were hard too. Whined like a mother as well. Thought it was the PS pump until I took the belt off and started the car.... it wasnt the PS pump.:th_laugh-lol2: Oh well..... it's paid for..... and a money pit. I almost have a brand new used car
