Well, it looks likes my tranny may have finally died. It has always leaked, and it started making some horrible noises the other day. I parked it at my sister and brother-in-laws' place and I'm afraid to move it. On one hand I'm completely broke, so I can't afford to fix it in any reasonable time frame. The good news is that I started a part-time job today and the pay is decent. I'm thinking that it might be easier to buy an inexpensive used car and finance it with no money down---I can't borrow a car for a lot longer. I love my 'tour, but it looks like this may be the end of an era for me.

Sorry to hear about the Trannie goin out... You could always setup a meet and buy a used trannie, and make it a day to install it with help, and buy dinner for everybody after its done, but I dont know if many people would be up for that.

well if your gettin rid of it... Ill take the CTA.... Come on, help a brother out?

Damn, sorry to hear about this. I know exactly how you are feeling. My tranny died about 4 weeks before I hosted the Taylor meet. It was like $1375 installed, it took a day and a half for them to do it. It also has a 1year warranty on it so, I'm happy and it runs wonderfully. Though she might be going bub bye soon, still trying to decide if I should straight up sell her or just part it out.

Geez, the Merkur or the Regal...what a tough decision

But seriously, I'm gonna look into getting either a personal loan to fix the car or get a loan to buy a used car and get rid of the 'tour. Ya, know, if I got a Focus with a Zetec, I could at lest reuse my 9mm spark plug wires.

In the back of my mind, I knew the tranny would eventually crap out. What gets me is that I just spent a bunch of money on a new set of tires just a month ago or so.

Aaaarrgh!!!

Anyway, I'll keep you posted on how its going. Oh, and please post the name and addy of any tranny shops in and around Macomb County that you would recommend.

Thanks
