Also, he says the transmission was replaced, but it has been leaking like crazy and nothing anybody could do to reseal it would work. He says it's leaking from the pan, but I didn't get it up on ramps to see myself. He had driven it at least 8 months beautifully with the new transmission before the performance completely died out one evening as he was entering the freeway. It chugged along, but he had to manually shift/rev the engine up (L->2->D) before it would pick up and consider shifting. Not sure if this is even relevant to it not cranking over, which is my bigger concern.
