hi, i'm looking at making a purchase (86 spg) over a long distance. I know a friend who took the car for a test deive for me and noted two things.
1. transmission didn't want to go into 2nd gear, you had to go slowly or else it would grind
2. he was backing it up and used the breaks, and heard a thunk.
Can anyone give me a rough diagnosis?
For the tranny, is it on the way out? or is there just a small fix it needs to be healthy again? if it's on it's way out, any ideas on how long i have?
Thanks
Ryan
