Is there something wrong with the engine? Or just the transmission? Depending on the cost of the car, why not just repair/replace the transmission?? It is a Renault built unit. The engine/trans are NOT transverse. This is a similar setup to modern Porsche cars. The 97 DeLorean Time Machine has a Porsche automatic transmission in it, and others are working on Porsche conversions. IMHO, it is an expensive project. > -----Original Message----- > From: Foleyverre@xxxx [mailto:Foleyverre@xxxx] > Sent: Sunday, July 07, 2002 7:16 PM > To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Cc: Foleyverre@xxxx > Subject: [DML] Replacement transmission? > > > I am looking into buying a Delorean in pretty decent > condition with one major > glitch: > > It is an early 1981 DMC-12 with a disassembled, non-working automatic > transmission.
