Sounds like you may have either low line pressure in the trans or burnt clutches, does your trans fluid appear to be full when hot? Does it smell burnt?



2. Um won't warm up quickly so I know that's the thermostat.

Either that or perhaps you are running rich, how long does it take to heat up? How far to drive? What speeds?



3. Need a new passenger side sliding door.

Junkyard. Whats wrong?


4. New sending unit for my gas gauge.

www.Rockauto.com about $30



5. And a new muffler.

Mufflers are cheap, go about anywhere.


Can anyone help me out?
Does that help?
