I ended up having to order 2 rebuilt converters online and pay my brother to install them. They were totally melted and destroyed. And of course there were more problems after that. In fact, I had to get YET ANOTHER transmission. I thougth it would be no big deal since I had purchased an extended warranty. Then I found out the warranty company, API, just recently filed for bankruptcy. So, once again, I had to foot the bill. $800 for a rebuilt transmission and $400 for my brother to put it in. Hope you have better luck. Replies to this message: steve_ (Sep 10, 2007 11:11 am) alanna (Sep 10, 2007 11:16 am)
