Greetings from sunny (and often soggy) central Florida! I recently acquired a 1998 900 16 valve turbo convertible with an automatic transmission. The car is extremely nice (new top, perfect body and paint, excellent leather, turbo works fine, etc..) and has just under 120, 000 miles on the clock. Problem is the transmission! Seems to hang up in first gear until the accelerator is released and then will go directly to third, missing second entirely. I've tried shifting manually to no avail. Second gear does nothing. It's just not there. Any suggestions? Anyone know the going rate on the rebuild of the tranny in US dollars? Could it possible be the valve body? BTW, the fluid is not burned and is almost reddish in color. Thanks, David ______________________________________________________________________ Posted Via Uncensored-News.Com - Still Only $9.95 - http://www.uncensored-news.com With Seven Servers In California And Texas - The Worlds Uncensored News Source
