Pontiac Grandville Update



Hi All,


Big Blue just got back from the repair shop. The flange on the left exhaust manifold was broken and the previous owner placed a clamp on it. It had a leak so the car sounded like a "clunker" when taking off. I found two manifolds on Ebay over a year ago and after going back and forth on wether to do the work myself, I decided broken bolts in the heads would not be easy to remove in my garage, so I sent her off.


While there I had them replace the rusted bolts on the right exhaust manifold and replace the parking brake cable and fix THREE leaks in the transmission.


Well, the exhaust is now quiet, the parking brake seems to work, but I am still seeing transmission fluid in three spots on the floor. They told me it was leaking at the pan gasket, the speedometer gear cover, and the rear seal. All were replaced. I hope this is just residual fluid leaking!


Tell me your repair stories.
