    Hello, all:

    I just acquired a 2000 GP for my daughter's use, and will be looking for advice on several issues.

    Both tail light assemblies leak and have condensation in them. After running it through a car wash the turn signals quit working. I solved that problem by replacing the bulbs and drying out the sockets, but obviously it will recur the next time it get washed.

    Several nights ago, some low life took the lens out of the passenger rear view mirror. Seems to me that just the mirror lens should be able to be replaced as the housing wasn't damaged.

    The transmission never shifts into OD, nor does the torque converter lock up. Could this be something simple like the transmission electrical plug disconnected (I haven't taken the time to look and see), or is the best solution to replace/rebuild the trans.

    Joe

    Paid only $1300 at an auction, so I won't be upset if I have to spend a few bucks on it. It really looks and drives nice.

    Welcome. Is it a GTP, GT or SE?

    Tail light you could crack open and then reseal them back together. Mirror lenses should be fairly cheap on ebay. Transmision is the achilles foot of this car, so I wouldnt be suprised if you need to rebuild it/get a used one. Search arround, theres plenty of threads on the trannies.

    Thanks, Odi.

    That's kind of what I was thinking.

    BTW - it's a white GT. (4 door).
