RE: [DML] Re: lost power

["PJ Grady" <rob@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Darryl,

If I recall correctly we have no record of working on this car or the
transmission. I'm wondering why our name was mentioned in your post since
the previous owners claim is unsubstantiated. This is typically how ugly
rumors start on the DML. BTW your problem sounds like a misadjusted or
damaged shifter cable which could probably be traced to the installer of
this "rebuilt" transmission. I hope this helps.


Sincerely,

Robert Grady

I called PJ Grady awhile ago close to two years when I first bought my D.
>From what I was told by the previous owner is that the garage I currently
take the car to is the one in which the trans was put back in. But PJ
Grady's apprenelty only rebuilt it. I called and gave them two names but
they didn't have anything. The trans never gave me a problem until a little
while age. 
The deal with the lock up was that these other guys who worked/messed up my
car allowed the car to run, when I told them the cooling fans were not
coming on all the time. They turned the car on for some diagonostics and
walked away only to come back 20min later to find the car smoking and turned
off. I didn't find this out until I paid 1,181 for the bill. (needless to
say we are suing them) My garage that it goes to got the car back up and
running. But that was back in March I haven't drivin it that much we are
still tring to fix everything they touched. But could the engin now be
giving me trouble form this. I only put about 300 miles or so since I got it
back. I did have the cooling problem solved, new thermo switch, water pump,
and all new hoses for the cooling system but some of the hoses in the car
are the originals form 1981. I haven't had the time (school and work)  nor
funds (school and my Ford Tarus) to change them yet, but each part is
slowley being replaced that is out
 dated or dead. 
I also noticed that when the car was idleing in my driveway it seemed every
now and then that it was about to shut off, the lights (all of them) would
shut off for less then a second then flip back on, the cd player would skip
and shut off then return to working. So I assume that there is some power
loss. I have some records of the work down on the car since 1997, but I
can't find if there are any updates/recalls done to the car.
 
Thanks,
Darryl
