my 87 420sel that i drive 150 miles a day to ft hood and back for work now is having a tranny issue....

i dropped the pan and replaced the fluid and lo and behold i see a piece of metal about an inch long and 1/8th of an inch wide and curved at one end (it curves to the point of making contact with the straight part)

transmission will be rebuilt by a local guy in austin along with adding a transmission oil cooler to avoid the overheating

total price tag....1100.00

opinions anyone?

lyle in austin
