Sorry didnt get back to completing this. It was a challenge and they put me down for overtime so I just forgot about it. Apologize. Car did get done and working with the mechanic was part of the bigger challenge.

At that time didnt want to pay that much and he wouldnt come down. Couple of moths went by and ended up getting a nice 95 GLT. After driving several months car ran perfect. Great car. Now car ended up pushing trans fluid. Coming out too fast to live with so I have talked to a good mechanic I know. W...

I did this at house at that time. Still have that 96 850 and it is still doing great. I decided to do all solenoids and also paid the awful price for the pink sealant. Was 100 dollars then. They only had one huge tube. However, the car is still in service and doing good. So this effort turned out we...

After a clean up and observation noted where the leak starts Seems to be the front seal. This will of course require pulling the trans. As I like the car much I have decided to pay a mechanic to fix it. Drove the car for about an hour yesterday and shifting and all other trans issues seem to be fine...

Thanks for the follow up. Will try cleaning in up again. I did clear out the air box and other items and it didnt seem to be from there. I also followed the trans cooler lines but that doesnt seem to be it since they connect in on the front side. It does seem to be in the area where it might be the ...

I cleaned it up, then after raising it up started the car again. Seems to be in the rear and you (I) can see the backside of the trans plate (torque plate) turning there where the access port is. Will check the DIY that you mentioned- thanks Mike

Brought my 850 home and it was losing auto trans fluid. After getting a chance to getting under it I noticed that it is losing fluid near the rear where the engine and trans join. Not sure if this means that I would need to pull the trans to do this or not. We have three 850 s and have not had this ...

Thanks for the feedback. I will talk to the owner again and see where it leads. Mike

I have been over to see one and it is in really nice shape. I plan to go by and see it again. This one has about 170 K on the odometer and it was really nicely taken care of. He has had it out for about a week and it hasn't sold yet so he has considered dropping the price. He started at 2600. but I ...

I have the rear CPSensor and other side; taken off all 47? bolts off and am now in a position to pop off the top half cam shaft cover. I did some tapping all around and (understanding it is aluminum) am not having much luck. I must be missing something. I would think from looking at it that prying i...
