update on the trans... it will shift thru all forward gears. can put in drive, it shifts thru all gears fine. can also shift thru all gears manually just fine. 1st, 2nd and 3rd. i have lifted all 4 corners up on jackstands. when i put the car in neutral, it is in 1st gear. when i put it in reverse, it locks tight. when i put it in park, if it starts spining before the park hook grabs, it just goes off in 1st, have to hold onto the brake to get the park hook to grab. i dropped the pan, the little clip holding the filter on was off. both the filter and clip were in the bottom of the pan. i see nothing else abnormal. im not positive what im looking at in an automatic trans however. manuals, im good with. autos, not so much. i am getting REALLY frusterated with this car. does anyone have parts they could supply me with if i have something messed up? i need to find out what i can check out without pulling it out of the car. GRRRRR why do people let cars rot like this??? headaches... dave stohler http://picasaweb.google.com/das24rules ____________________________________________________________________________________ Park yourself in front of a world of choices in alternative vehicles.
