- I have a '93 Ford Escort with a failing automatic transmission. Slips, delayed engagement, delayed shifting, etc. The car has 90M on it, and is solid otherwise. It was my dad's car from new, so I kn

- If you haven't already, I would do some other things first, like changing out the fluid, cleaning the filter, adjusting the kick down linkage, and adjusting the bands, all of which you can do on a Sa

- The fluid and filter were done by my Ford dealer about 3 weeks before it started acting up. I hadn't considered adjusting the bands or the linkage, but that seems worth a shot. A torque converter is

- That's suspicious. Did they replace the fluid, or do a "flush"? I have heard of that killing transmissions... the gunk at the bottom of the pan gets stirred up and goes through the trans. Eric ______

- The other thing is, how firm is that $1000? When they've got it in 100 pieces and they tell you it needs more work that will cost extra, then what? If you have someone install a rebuilt transmission

- Back when I was a student (circa 1982), I had a P.O.S. '76 AMC Hornet with lots of miles. One day I accelerated briskly in reverse, and hear a "bang!", and reverse gear was no more. I put the car on

- I had a similar experience in the late 80s with a Volvo 240 automatic trans (Borg-Warner). It took me about 20 hours on the bench and a rebuilt torque converter, but it worked fine for a couple years

- Most seem to consider rebuilding an automatic to be "black magic" that should be left to the pros. I disagree. My experience was with a Chevy Turbo 350 in my old 4x4, but rebuilding it was easier tha

- Jobs like these usually are much worse in the anticipation than they are in reality. No, I've not rebuilt an automatic transmission. But I've bitten off similarly large and very intimidating projects
