Help! I just had the transmission rebuilt on my '92 Explorer XLT. The day after having the transmission fixed my engine rapidly overheated and started to visibly smoke. I took it to a mechanic and they diagnosed it as a blown head gasket. What should I do? I've had the vehicle for six years and have taken great care of it... new KYB shocks, super spring in the rear, AC overhaul two years ago, new automatic hubs etc. However, I just spent $1800 on the tranny and the cheapest mechanic is $1700 to replace the head gaskets. Should I pay to fix, try and fix it myself, or sell??? Help!
