In the last two weekends I bought 4 new tires, replaced the Radius arm bushings and Saturday night put new Pins and Bushings in the drivers door Hinges.
Life is good, The '91 X is ready for trouble free Summer.
Driving home last night I go to change lanes , I step on the gas a bit, just as the Trani downshifts the Engine Revs like crazy. I drift over to the shoulder. Trani is done! This trani was rebuilt by the Previous owner about two years ago. I have the reciept. $2400.
Before this, there was no slipping or any other tell-tale signs that the trani was going. I know these are weak trani's so my ear is always paying attention. No signs of failure before it totally crashed.
Question is this. Could it just be the Torque Converter? When the trani downshifted, it was shifting out of the locked position to the 3rd gear isn't that done in the Torque Converter? On the side of the road, it wasn't even lurching the slightest bit as I tried Forward and reverse gears. Listening to the trani from under the car. In neutral, engine running, it sounded noisey.
Somebody please give me some good news..something that doesn't involve another $2400.
Thanks
P.S. aside from doing the work myself, who would you trust to rebuild?
