Pretty good at diagnosing, but by no means a pro, and I enjoy working on these cars. Hit me up for help; availability is random.

Interested in helping me pull the auto tranny for RMS replacement? I'd like to document an out-the-bottom removal to complement wheelsup's great out-the-top thread. Have parts & have built jigs to support the engine & to secure the tranny to a floor jack... so hopefully it will go pretty quickly. But it would be great to have an added pair of hands for some of the work & to take pictures as we go. Can compensate with wit, wisdom, and beer.

Maybe you can direct me to the right source. I live by Travis AFB and I have a 98 S70 ,138K. With in the last year I've had a intermittent issue with the electrical during some hot days. After I get off of work & when the outside Temp is about 85+ ( and it's like an oven inside the car) as soon as I turn start the engine I have no radio, A/C or power windows. So I shut down the car and restart it and it works fine. Lately it's been progressing more and more, but now only the A/C quit working. If it does work ( early in the A.M. The blower works and the A/C is nice and cold.
Any Ideas?
