16. UPDATE TIME.

Dec 24

I took the girl to the mechanic this morning. We have not heard from him yet. We may tomorrow. I cannot say what is wrong with it. First gear is weak and jumpy but not all the time. After first, it does fine. Reverse is a mess. Very jerky and feels like it is about to cut off on me, which is due to the motions, not the engine trying to die. If they can fix it, well, it depends on the price. Replacing it is out of the question. It is not worth it after doing it once before. If it does need replacing, we are done. We cannot afford to repair it.

That will be bad.

You might want to double check fluid levels (both hot and cold marks on the dipstick - level location is a must). waterwatcher123 Dec 22 #13
