HI,
I'm still confused. Do you have a five speed manual or an 
automatic? If you have the 5 speed manual, how are you going to shift 
without a clutch? If it is the automatic, your problem sounded like 
the shift computer. Aamco definitely is not the place to go with any 
car as far as I'm concerned. I wouldn't let them work on my car if 
they were the last place around.
I thought that you said the car ran fine when you got it so what 
happened that you needed work?
I had a friend that took his Delorean to the places that his dad 
told him to go see. He almost always had more trouble after these 
trusted mechanics worked on his car. He then ended up at my place or 
P.J.Grady's.
Experience and knowledge of this car is very important when 
getting it fixed. Have you tried Volvo mechanics since you don't want 
to go back to P.J.Grady's?
Lastly, I have known Rob for many years now and have had him do 
some work on my car a number of times. I have found the work to be 
excellent, the people always helpful even when calling in only for 
advice. I don't understand how you had such a bad experience there.
The car can be and is a reliable car when properly maintained 
and repaired. As others had suggested, you need to become friends 
with some other owners that could help.
Good luck,
Gary Masie
