Renboy Posted May 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 A friend I haven't seen in at least 5 years showed up on my doorstep yesterday. He was, incidentally driving a 98 milly S that's gold. He picked it up for cheap as he just needed something to get around in. He mentioned that the tranny shifted hard so we went for a spin. Sure enough, it seems that the clutches in the tranny are slipping a little. As such, he's going to see if he can source a tranny for a swap. If anyone is parting one out locally (Southwestern Ontario) let me know. Not back Saint, just visiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renboy Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Sadly were now in an era where people buy them just to get around, It may be another 10 years or so before they reach collector status It's we're, sadly, some things never change. Update: My friend sourced a low mileage tranny for $500 and then was quoted 8 hours labor to change it. I laughed when I heard that, looks like I'll be under the hood of a milly again some time soon.
