87 4wd auto tranny died - what now?
I just got my van running, got maybe 2 months of weekend use out of it at the most, and now the tranny died! So the question is, what to do now? I've never been a fan of automatics, but made an exception here because I wanted a 4wd TV so bad. So now I'm wondering if I should replace the tranny with one from the junk yard, have my current tranny rebuilt, or find a non-running 4wd five speed and use my current engine in it? What do you suggest? While I really have no idea, I think the death of my current transmission may have been due to the fact that the previous owner had about 3/4 quart too much fluid in the transmission, and I ran it like that for some time before draining it. When I finally got around to draining it, I noticed it seemed a little separated, like there was two different consistencies of fluid. Like oil and water but not as dramatic. What experience have others had with rebuilt or junk yard transmission replacements long-term?
