if it's such a simple fix tell him to fix it and put the bolt back in........if he won't ..sounds like another toolbag trying to cover up a major repair, btstdt!!!......think about it, if it were so simple they would fix it and not be trying to sell it as is...move on or expect a major repair

but could that be causing it not to shift out of first?

i agree with mjr i wouldnt trust it if the guy keeps changing his mind and telling you this and that i would reconsider and if it was an easy fix he should have fixed it there is obviously a reason why he wont and sounds like to me there is a bigger problem it may be nice and have good parts in it and have a car with potential but invest your money in something that will require less hassle unless you feel like dropping a good chunk of money into it and who knows it may be a simple fix and the dude is just to lazy but just give it a little thought before you do. hope that helps. good luck

hey guys anyone no what cars came out with 8.8 posi rearends that i can bolt under my 85 notchback

that trans is shot, i guarantee it

walk away from it unless he's gonn knock $3k off for your trouble

a good aod rebuild is going to cost you an easy $2000 +

the converter is too small too and most likely needs to be replaced from the bad trans because they get contaminated from the bad fluid thats full of particles

'87 and up 5.0's

and they are not posi.. they are trak-lok

actually limited slip.. posi is a GM term
