Yeah I think the tranny in my car may be going to. It wasn't shifting too well. I checked the fluid and it was low on the dipstick. It was on the add 1 pint line. The car is parked for the winter though so I will not know until August when I get home from Bascic Training and AIT in the Army. If the tranny is going I was planning on either getting it rebuilt with the Hughes rebuild kit or just getting the Hughes Tranny and a new 2000rpm stall torque converter.

Do your self a favor, stay away from B&M torque converters. One out of three go away. TCI is a better. How much is the transmission costing you?, Which one is it?, How long is the warranty?

Haha I think my tv detent cable might be messed up cause my mechanic had to bend the metal bracket that holds it before the throttle body. He bent it because the throttle cable was so tight it would not let the throttle close all the way. So now I think that the detent cable might be out of whack. Oh well I won't have a chance to fix it until I get back form the Army in august.
