At the same time I'll fix the oil leak from either a rear main or rear cover issue. At 193,000 it still has 4th gear and we all know that in itself is a matter of time before it lets go. It's time. I have a couple weeks off, access to a heated shop that a mechanic buddy owns. It's nearly time.

Sounds like a good plan considering you are an expert mechanic. I've got 186,000 on the kids winter GP and the trans still works great, 4th gear and all. I did do a pan drop and added a bottle of lucas which helped the 3rd to 4th shift which was a little on the late side before the service. Again you have a sharp Regal!

Come on bill you know you want to see how long it will go we all do. I'm at 207K stock trans with 4th.

working on making the reverse light bar black minus the light openings

how are you feks on 207k mile stock trans with 4th and still driving??
mine's at 108,200 and the betch slip-banged on me again today leaving a stop light.

Brandon, have you tried talking nice to her?

Well in the mornings if I'm passing somebody I usually mutter "come on angel.." and when it acts up it gets a beating.

That doesn't work you have to talk dirty to them lol

I curse it out once in a while. Usually I'm too busy cursing traffic though. And yes, I curse traffic when I drive alone. Maybe thats weird idk.

It's ok, I do too.
I've called car bad names before when the doors don't open. But I try to be nice because I can't afford a big repair bill. Today is 1 yr of ownership day, so I was extra nice lol.

lol congratulations!

I did the aux input install today. Mounted the plug in the storage area under the climate control. Works great.

I beat the crap out of mine but the lady I got it from put 130,000 miles on it in 3 years all highway do that probably helped that it wasn't constantly changing gears.

Drove it 1 mile.

I went the radio shack route. $13 and that's only because I bought two 274-246's in case I messed up one.

Popped a curb. Got out and inspected. Alls fine. Kicked tire and told car to behave it it wants an alignment.

check it in the AM, see if you got a slow leak

^^^Aight.
