I never did update this thread.
I did NOT receive any compensation from the seller. I whacked his Ebay feedback, but that does nothing for me.
The reason why the tranny fluid was low is because there is a persistant leak above the tranny pan-I replaced the pan and gasket AND torqued it to factory specs, but the drip is from above.
Also, the tranny 'flares' from 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th. I am hoping (praying!) that the various adjustments mentioned on this board will solve that problem.
I'm on the verge of digging back into this car to try and make it right, without going bankrupt in the process.
All I can say is if you buy a car on Ebay, you'd better get some sort of independent inspection before bidding or you're asking for an a$$kicking.
