Hmmmmm.....

I'll decide in the morning. Might just call in and tell them I have an "eye problem" - just can't see myself coming in.... It's just a part-time job that, for the day, would barely fill up my F150 with the day's pay.
I'm leaning towards seeing if I can locate a trailer or tow dolly and going and getting it and the wife.
I think if the tranny hasn't yet fried the TC, I might get away with only a valve body to fix it. I'm leaning towards the sticking valve that mercman mentioned as the likely cause.
If the tranny fries, I know my wife is going to want to dump this car and replace it, probably with a Lincoln LS8 that she's had her eye on for the last year or so. Can't afford that any time soon, just built a new house last year.... Taxes alone on this thing will make a new tranny for the 'tour look cheap when the county finally gets around to assessing it at its market value.

Later,
Thanks, guys.
