Broken Transmission

Here is the story of my Broken Transmission.....

when leaving a stop light i lost all forward motion, sounded like a sonic boom when off underneath the car...not good.

so the car was taken to my house and put in the drive way, (piggyback #1) while i had thoughts of setting the car on fire

I located a Trans, and it HAD to be from a 2003 Bonneville or Lesaber, due to the Internal Wire Harness, Valve Body, temp sensor Etc. I was able to locate a trans had it delivered to Wyotech (where i work).

Saturday Morn it gets Piggy back ride #2 from my house to Wyotech
