Transmission questions.
By Russ Schell - 09/12/2000 3:07:07 PM; IP 209.116.226.194
My 17 year-old has a '66 LTD with the 352 4-barrel. Not sure what transmission model. (I'm not as technical as you guys.) It's your basic 3 speed automatic. Car has 89,000 miles on it. Last week the transmission began to slip a bit. It's always has a small leak and we were advised by the repair shop to put some of that stuff that's supposed to expand the seals and slow or stop the leak. This weekend the transmission didn't want to shift into third gear. It would shift if you started in low, then shifted manually into third. We took it to the local shop and, my son just called with the news that, "the transmission is shot." $800 for "the cheapest one" plus $100 to install.

Any advice on this?

P.S. - He doesn't beat the car. He drives it daily to school and he's working to restore it to an original condition so he can take it to some local car shows.

Thanks in advance.
