I have to admit that at first I was skeptical at your original diagnosis of
"blown" for the transmission.  I always reserved "blown" for the sort of thing
that happens to a funny car engine when it leaps 30 feet in the air at the
drag races.  But I guess it's appropriate to call a TC that sounds like a baby
rattle "blown." <grin>

So Owen, didn't you tell me the transmission actually locked up on you... or
did you tell me it just made a bunch of noise and then you threw it in neutral
and coasted to a stop?

Thanks,

John L.
