Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic

Well, I had some minor upgrades planed. But they will have to take the back burner. Yesterday my tranny started acting up. Delayed reverse and major flare shifting into 3rd. I was hopeing it was just a TCU issue so I changed my settings so that I would have full line pressure full time and kept heading to work. After work I stoped by TKR's and picked up a 1g Throttle body (one of my planed minor upgrades) After leaving there the problems just got worse. The TCU was in limp mode so I stoped and reset it and kept heading tward home. By the time I got home the tranny was slipping very badly and trans temps were climbing higher then I have ever seen them.

So at this point in time I think my trans is in need of a full rebuild with some of the standard upgrades. I am priceing a few things out right now and will update with my future plans.

If anyone has a 2G AWD Auto Trans for sale let me know. I wouild really like to get the car back on the road and to the track again this season.
