I have two dead 300's, one turbo, one not. Only about 1500 miles AWAY. Max

$1800 to rebuild the transmission. Now this is really a choice between a frying pan and the fire. I really like the car, which is possibly worth $1800 on a good day. But I bought my wifes car (Martha) for $1800 - and that was for the whole car. It was more than a B2 piston replacement. Comments appreciated. brian

Interesting, before I went to Pasadena, I spent 1/2 hour with (Kenny) Duane Rogers who told me that he started out doing transmissions - small world sometimes. brian

Tomorrow I will go through the simple stuff like "is there ATF in the case" and "has any linkage fallen apart" But, just in case it is more serious - Nate are you still friendly with the Pasadena Tranny man? And, what is his contact info? And Rob, didn't you have someone in the O/C - or was that for A/C issues?
