I posted the following on www.cadillacforums.com but they won't help me
I had my Coupe DeVille for 6 months and a little part inside the tranny... apparently some sort of "valve" went.
Local Tranny shop said that for them to replace this "valve" that somehow causes a "compression leak" they'd have to pull the whole tranny out and crack it open!
He said the price would be cheaper to just buy a rebuilt and have it installed!
Has anyone had the Deville or similar, fall into neutral while you roll up to a traffice light? The transmission works GREAT on the hiway or shifting, and everything! Just goes to Neutral when comming to a stop! So sad, you either have to put it back in Drive or rev the gas a little and it pops back in. Think it's really this?
I bought a Beautiful Lincoln Mark VIII from a dealership so I feel a little better with a warranty, but I'm NOT getting rid of my 1990 Coupe DeVille (I don't think just yet)... I barely got to drive it (only 6 months) and never even got to post my pic of the car here yet
So now that I have a Lincoln, I did wind up getting all my research from www.lincolnvscadillac.com and it's pretty cool over there (no real Cadillac Owners on that site yet) but I got all my Lincoln needs there! Any ideas about the Cadillac Tranny? Also is it a 4t60? or a 4t60E? Cuz I got a 1990 Pontiac Grand Prix with the v6 (4t60) tranny which I think is the same... Reply to me here or help me at the www.lincolnvscadillac.com site. Thanks again for the help, I know this is like the biggest site around and the other one doesn't have a lot of Caddy owners, but I need all the help I can get!
