Unfortunately I think your diagnosis proved correct the Tranny failed
completely today with much grinding and nashing of teeth. I think the
internals are totally fucked now, due to lack of lubrication. (I assume
this front pump controls all fluid pressure, for lubrication and
shifting...) I guess I will be spending some money on it after all. :)
Mabey I can convince my mother to go with a manual instead of an
automatic so i can rebuild it in the future at least. Still looking for
a good source of information about chevy transmisions, now more than
ever. :) Wish I had had it rebuilt last year...
Oh well... live and learn. :*-(
