new auto trans replacement is complete.
driven it in reverse down to the end of my street and back.
good news is that it seems to work and shift nicely.
i would say it feels better than old transmission.
bad news:
that darn noise that i thought was trans pump is still there.
vibration seems gone, though, or better.
but mystery noise remains, which was the reason i swapped transmissions...
aren't i glad i didn't pay someone else to do it!!!
and rest of bad news is sway bar link snapped off at the bottom and the rest is still on the sway bar as the nut on the end of the sway bar won't come off. i cracked one socket, tried air wrench at powerful setting, wrench, wrench with jack, it won't budge.
i managed to twist it out of the way so it would stop scraping the control arm as i drove.
part of me wants to cry, the other part sigh.
but at least the car now has a new transmission to go with the new tires, brakes, exhaust, di cassette, radiator, hoses, water pump, ac hose, blower motor, blower motor control, control arm bushings, sway bar bushings, etc...
i think i want a new car that has a warranty
until later,
aaron
