thats where my issue comes in guys!!
my 96 gl, was NOT maintained at all.. NO tranny flush for hmmm, 200 000+ kms?, the only issue it had was the o/d light would flash on long drives and would slam into gears.
sometimes my me or my dad didn't do oil changes for 15,000 kms... basicly the car was neglated the worst way possible and it BARELY gave us trouble... (except when the timin belt blew once) that was costly... other then that, it was a tank.. and STILL is.
my new contour I'm almost positive it was babied... so I just don't get it! ARGH! and yes the diff is blown.
