That really bites that you have run into all thses issues Mike. I feel for ya.
I just installed those seat heaters in the Lumina now it's looking like the tranny is going south along with the intake I did 2 years ago.

Thanks Jay.
Pretty sad, but I come to expect it now whenever I work on something. Still frustrates me beyond belief though (like you guys couldn't tell)
Wow, that really sucks. What is the transmission doing?
I was going to ask, what is the diagnosis on the intake? Leaking coolant again?

As the car warms up it starts to whine so Dave first thought was power steering, which was low, so I topped that off. Still whining under acceleration. When I drove the car to see first hand what was going on I noticed as soon as the whine starts it starts to shift hard between gears. Bangs in like I just put in a mild shift kit.
Intake is leaking a small amount of antifreeze externally. Not sure about internal. If it is internal it is too small an amount to smell in the exhaust.
