Looking at a 91, super clean 1 owner car and only 122k on the clock.
I didn't get a chance to drive it, but it runs nice. I'm wondering if it's possible that the trans has already been rebuilt/replaced? Does anyone know how many miles you'd go before they'd fail? I read that they failed with very few miles on the clock, but I'm not sure if 122k falls within that timeframe...
Obviously it depends on the car, I guess, but I'm hoping they all failed prior to 100k so it's a newer transmission...
I was told it shifts fine by someone I know who has driven it, but I'll have a look at it either Monday or Tuesday... if I do end up buying, the first thing to go is the old fluid and filter, then a retraining. I'm not sure if it's got the newer trans computer or not, it didn't have any stickers on it so I couldn't tell... is the newer one the one with fins on it? I think that would probably apply to this car...
No fins on the TCM on this car... just black box.
Oh-- and no codes thrown, and NO ABS!!!! :thumbsup:
