I have my automatic transmission dead too. It didn't give any signs of dying. My mechanic says that it could be the transmission, torque converter or the differential, nothing is loose inside the transmission he already checked it, but he says that it could cost up to $2100CAN. Way too much money, since I had it rebuilt like 10k miles away. -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of Stan Wilder Sent: Sunday, February 23, 2003 5:24 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Re: Auto trans woes in a '90 Carat...
