Yeh, same thing the shop said. Still hasn't done it again. I'll be sure to be keeping an eye on it, though...

tranny shop said it might've been some sticky valves. Fluid is fine in both color and level, plus had a filter and fluid change not more than a month ago. I've been on the highway twice since then and nothing. So, maybe a freak thing...

Sorry, i'm a retard and stangnet won't let me edit the title, hence: "sownshifts". Oh well, you get the point. like it says, cruising @70 today in OD, no acceleration, and out of nowhere it just shifts into D for three or four seconds, then back into OD. A few seconds later, does it again...

so JT, what should I be watching for? When you say broken radials, what exactly do you mean?

took it back and they said there was no flat spot, however there's a warped spot on the lip of the front right, and they said a wheel and tire warp together when you hit something, so it's not as noticeable, but when you put a new tire on a warped wheel, you'll notice it more. They were a little...

So I had an emergency skidding stop yesterday with my 2 day old tires- tire smoke, screeching, the whole nine. Now I feel what feels like a flat spot. A rythmic thud that's definitely RPM-dependant. I haven't had time to take the tire off, but I saw the skid mark later and I'd have to...

not necessarily. We installed a new Heavy Duty HUGE solenoid from Stinger (they make car audio products), and installed the lowest gauge wire we could fit, nice new terminals, cleaned up new grounds, and haven't had a single probem since :)

Don't know if I mentioned this or not, but it's only under load. I.E., when coasting down in gear from 25-2300, there's no vibration. Only under acceleration...

How do I check the U joints again? See if the driveshaft has rotational slack or a different kind of test? I didn't suspect it initially because the FRPP alum. DS comes with new u- joints, but I guess that doesn't mean anything... I haven't jacked it up and looked, but I'll need to go through...

Just came from getting new tires put on the car, mounted, balanced, alignment w/ Steeda C/C plates. etc. a few minutes after leaving, i now feel this vibration. It feels like an internal vibration. It is not present in the steering wheel. You cannot really hear it (i.e., exhaust pipes hitting...

Honestly, i haven't pursued the source yet. I know for a fact that there was a loose connection, but only sfter i tried to fix the problem initially, so it couldn'tve been the origianl problem... There was nothing painfully obvious wrong with the rad that I could see without close inspection. So...

well... I think I fixed it!!! Took out the old rad., brakleen'd everything, popped in the new one, cecked and tightened all connections, topped off the tranny, drove to autozone to get some oil and more trany fluid just in case, drove back, and NOTHING. No puddles, no mess under the hood...seems...

well, this morning after letting it idle for awhile, I lloked under the hood and there was a pretty fast-paced drip coming from the joint of the hard line and rubber hose coming from to the tranny cooler. However, I don't think that's the original problem, as that rubber hose is new and the old...

thats the thing - it's not leaking - it's SPRAYING!! There's fluid soaking EVERYTHING under the hood, so I can't possibly find the origin...It's crazy. I'm beginning to suspect one of the rubber hoses could be a culprit also, so I got new hose to replace the old ones when I throw in the new Rad...

No, I do have an aftermarket cooler. First I thought it was that, so i replaced it. not the problem. Nope, they're on the driver's side. The power steering is not leaking. The fluid level is constant. The ADO fluid is draining on a daily basis and needs to be refilled. it is AOD fluid. No...

it's not the PS cooler. That fluid is maintaining just fine. The tranny on the other hand, contin ues to look fluid. i could see nothing leaking/spraying under the hood when idling, but it's coming out of somewehre HARD. When I park and open the hood, it's dripping from the front corner of the...

so I'm not crazy? It could be a problem with the tranny cooler in the rad., even if the rad. itself is not leaking coolant? Also, does my 88 even have a PS cooler? I've been all around that area lately and haven't noticed one. I guess I'll check again...

no, I'm 99% sure it's the tranny fluid itself from the rad. Unless the fluid I put in the tranny feeds the PS cooler too. Every day, the tranny fluid drops low again, leading me to believe that it's gotta be the rad. leaking. from somewhere...

yeah, I already replaced the coler and the hoses, etc., It's not leaking from the fittings on the radiator... I don't get it, but it's spraying violently out of somewhere...

I can't pinpoint it. After I wiped it dry and drove home, the whole area around the front bumper, drivers headlight, top of the rad. by the filler neck, even the passneger side tank was wet the other night. So I think it;s just cracked thru and leaking, but the coolant is not leaking... weird...
