Subject:Need A/T Part for '91 Carat
From:Jim Huskins
Date:Sat, 24 Jan 2004 12:44:16 -0500

A few minutes ago I received all the messages from this list which I
stopped receiving about 10:30 A.M. yesterday. Guess I'll never
understand cyberspace.

Now, for what I needed to post yesterday: My automatic transmission
rebuild is going well, though slowly. I've had several delays waiting
for additional parts or, in one case, waiting for the correct part to
be shipped. I'm glad I undertook this job since I don't mind taking the
time to get all the details right.

Yesterday I discovered that I have a broken diaphragm spring in the
forward clutch. It was too late to check with Makco where I bought the
rebuild kit. They did not stock the planetary I needed, but they might
have this spring.

BUT, if they don't, does anyone have any source ideas? Any of you have
one for sale? Is this something the dealers can still get? Would the
dealer route take six months? Inquiring rebuilders want to know.

TIA
