Well I have a problem with my junker car once again ... It appears that the torque converter is takin dumps inside my tranny leaving little metal chunks inside the filter...
Replaced 7qts of oil and new filter (better than the one they sell at autozone) Those ones are shitty filters... hoping it will last awhile longer till i get some money for a rebuilt... The cheapest i found out here that someone will do is 1600 and he's a 70 yr old man, employed by the government when he was younger rebuilding for the FBI and state agencies...who said he really doesnt want to do it cuz its a pain in the ass... another guy i talked with who rebuilds for nascar affiliated people wants 2000.... 1 yr warranty no fine print mileage exemptd....
wow im thinking if i should just junk the car ... but i love it too much its a good ride and the engine is holding up good with not many miles on the little piecer 3.4 =) it was fast until this tranny started acting up... I know its not long before i get my grey oil color again and it to start making noise like it did before i changed the oil .....
Any ideas ..... I can't do it myself due to lack of skills..I have a lift and a shop to do it in but im hearing that you need to re-program the pcm and the wire harness.... that goes to it has to be replaced, because when you pull the connectors from it they break and the old ones wont snap in correctly causing them to come out and screw up yer new planetary spheres u just spent cashloads on...lafff
