When asking for assistance, it would be helpful to give us a location. I
am located on Long Island NY. Let me know if I could be of assistance.

Subject: Transmittion Rebuilders?

     Hello to all the people on the list.  I have been in lurker mode
for
some time.  And even got bumped off the list.  Changing jobs took up
allot
of my time.  Well as things usually happen right when I changed jobs my
tranny started acting up.  It started popping out of 3rd gear.  It will
stay
in gear as long as I keep power applied.  As soon as I let up on the
throttle, it backs out of gear.  It is also having trouble going into
the
other gears.  Seems I have to search a little for it to engage.  My van
has
251,000 miles on it, guess it's about time for a rebuild.

     I will be searching the archives for tranny rebuilders.  If any one
knows of a rebuilder, please let me know.  The dealer wants about
$1000.00
to $1600.00 to rebuild my tranny.
