Oh well I knew it was bound to happen..... it had been howling a little in OD for a while when cruising.
Put in new plugs, and did a few little maintenance chores Saturday and decided to take it out for a "test" run at my local spot to see how she felt... Nice cool day!
Well it was pulling strong but as I pulled it to the top end of 3rd I heard a loud POP! and the motor shut off....coasted it for a while and started her up in neutral...no problem....but it was just revving in Drive... Still had first and second to get me home / to work this morning.
O/D band went out... time to pull it and build it up a bit to handle the boost. I have a local shop guy that will do it on the side for cheap, I just have to bring him the parts. Any suggestions on parts (aside from getting rid of the AOD :D ).
Bands / clutches / servo, etc... it's a 91 AOD
Well I also bought an s-10 blazer extreme last night as a daily driver and I have to go pick it up tonight, so it's time to get a little more serious with the car once the funds replentish ;) ...
