I'm selling my 83sd, which has a rebuilt vac pump, but when I went out to take it for a test drive today, it wouldn't kick into second gear, even when I shifted it there manually on the console. It starts fine, and has plenty of oil and tranny fluid. One thing that's strange is that the accelerator pedal has to be pushed almost all the way to the floor to get much response. It's basically creeping along, even though the engine is revving up ok. And it backs up alright, even up hill. I put the ad on craigslist last night with a price tag of $1100, and have gotten a lot of calls. Then I went out and found the tranny was "sick", and I've lowered it to $850 just to get it sold. (The wife has laid down the law about "that car on out in front of the house".) Any tips or ideas from the experts?? Thanks, folks. Lee
