Default Sable may have seen its last day...
Well I barely made it home yesterday to look under the car and see it bleeding. Not sure if the trans it junk or not as I haven't really gotten under it to see where it's puking from. Ellis, wanna build me a bullet proof trans for the Sable? Well if it is junk I can at least sell the V6 that had head gaskets done only 15K ago to recoupe the $400 that I paid for the car and keep the nice CD player and speakers!

actually the list of what they break is longer then the list of early LS1 cars with bent push rods

Planets, pistons, valve body's, lube tubes...the list goes on for days

We did two this week alone and it was a slow week

I know they are junk. And I have another car so all is good. Probably just sell the car for the motor.
