well it appears that transmissions dont like to have 218300 miles on them.

It looks like I will be trashing the olds ops:

when driving on the interstate it suddenly jerks for no reason.

Plus it needs a new front fender as well as a new front bumper so I think it is time to let it go

All in all it was a good car, lasted 26,000 miles all for a total of $2,300 including the cost of the car and every single repair and maintenance item.
It never once left me stranded, not once, not bad for a 900 dollar car.

what sucks is the engine is still perfect, never once has it dripped oil or burned oil on me.

We went thru a lot together, 2 years and 3 accidents later (2 were not my fault) and she recovered every time.

I am going to try to get a few hundred bucks for it, if not I will be parting out some of the nicer parts and off to the junkyard she goes.

It really sucks because I just put in brand new headlights, High Flow MAF, High End Starter, Water Pump, Radiator, HO Alternator, Harmonic Balancer, High Flow CAT, and all the usual maintenance items.

its life.

if u put all that money in it then y just throw it away go to a junk yard and get a tranny thet are not that much round here and if u can do the work or kno some one thats lookin for a couple extra bucks have them put it in


just don t let it go cuz u put all that money in
it

that was my mistake put all that money in my olds and what i got was 50.00 dollars that s it

Well the junkyard wants $400 for a tranny in unknown condition that has no warranty whatsoever.

Then the labor. NOT the easiest thing to do. Even if the car drives it is worth maybe 700 or 800 in this area, since it needs a new front fender and front bumper strut and has a dent in the rear.

I think I am better off with another 3.8 I am trying to find a bonneville or olds 98, even a reatta whatever has a LN3 as a temp car right now.
