Heya,
If any of you remember I'm the guy that destroyed his engine cradle last time I was here. Now at this point its a milage problem. It seems my transmission on my 3.8L 95' Buick Regal (Custom) is or has gone. It all happened when I was driving my girl friend home last night
I was going down a main road and the speed limit is about 50. I was getting on the accelerator to get it up to speed. It went through 1st gear, then 2nd, then when it tried to go to third it fell out of gear and the engine relined for a second until I realized what happened...
So I coasted to a red light then put in park then shifted it into drive again. It made it up to about 30 and went on momentum up 40 while my car jumped to redline again. I pulled it into a gas station and heard this clacking noise from inbetween the engine block and the windsheild side of the engine bay. I learned that the more I acclerated the fasted the clacking noise got until it just fell out of gear. I drove it home and pulled it into my driveway tried to shift it into reverse and reverse would not even grab so I just put it in neutral and let it roll down.
That the end of my story I geuss. I just want a few suggestions on what to do and if it even worth keeping. For anything I've taken wonderful care of the engine and it has a good life ahead of it seeing as I follow my oil changes and it is the 3800 after all.
Thanks a ton all,
Joe W.
