I HAD A TRANNY LEAK AND MECHANIC TIGHTENS THE BOLTS ON PAN UNDERNEATH. NOW THE GEARS DON'T WANT TO WORK. IT DRIVES ONLY WHEN TRANNY IS COLD. WHAT DO I DO?

DO I NEED A NEW TRANNY? IF SO, WILL A USED TRANSMISSION FROM ANOTHER CAR WORK? MAZDA OR SABLE I HEARD.

CAN I CHANGE THE TRANNY FLUID AND FILTER TO SEE IF IT WILL IMPROVE THE GEARS SLIPPIN?

CAN I CONVERT AUTOMATIC TO 5 SPD?

You need to have the transmission repaired or rebuilt. We would need the transimission # to supply other makes fitted with same trans. It can be converted to manual with some extra work !
