Default On her way out

This morning i had gone out to take Jonny to school and got a bad surprise. The trans started slipping first gear. I checked the oil and it was fine. I have no idea what the previous owner did, so it might be the original trans.

So after a bit of talking with Lisa, its going to be put up for sale. If the trans totally goes out before i get to sell it, then i will either part it out or just junk it. With me being unemployed, we dont have the money to fix it. Even if i was to get me a used tranns, i have no place to work on it. I might also put it on Craigslist to trade for a truck.

SO with that said, i will go ahead and back out of the forum. I will visit once in a while, but i have to worry about other things first.

JJ

JJ, I understand your need for reliable transportation. Please don't leave the family as we need you around here. The monte was just a vehicle that brought us together, but the the friendship is what binds us.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune JJ. I know what its like to feel over-your-head with repairs. Maybe its worth trying a cheap fix like a Lucas Transmission treatment. I'm not big on additives, but its worth a shot. If you can't afford that, PM me you address and I'll ship you a bottle no charge.

Either way, we still need you buddy! Who's going to do our signatures without you?

Ah man, I hate to hear that. Youve been a great contributor to this forum. Just because you are getting rid of your car doesnt mean you need to leave the forum. If you cant be on on a regular basis, at least pop in now and then. Good luck with everything.
