you was right John, it was the TCC thingymajigger... got the car back today from the shop and on the paper thingy it says they put in new torque converter and TCC solenoid and a few other lil things like put in new trans fluid etc and on the paper one of the recommendations is to have the transmission overhauled but dad didn't wanna do that cuz it would cost alot mroe then it already did and prolly won't have the car much longer cuz it'd getting really high mileage so prolly gonna trade it in soon..year or so, if even.
speaking of Worlds of Fun i just filled out an application to work there
gotta take it back and get interviewed.
