Found out "again" today the con-tiques are not a good DIY car - particularly a loaded V6. The tranny pan gasket was seeping pretty bad
- 3.5 hours later ON THE HOIST, it's done. Had to pull the battery, battery tray (8 bolts) and the A/C reciever/drier to get the pan off. Even then, it was a close call if I could get it out without draining the rad and removing two hoses - managed without damaging the hoses, but definitely not easy!!! I guess if you want to drive a nice handling euro-sport sedan you have to be willing to put up with some of the hassles involved (wife's car).
