Muffler replaced, brakes fixed, radiator replaced and radiator hose fixed (all after 7 years) and now the transmission is being fixed. I like this car very much, it hasn't given me too many problems. I'm going to keep it until the day comes that it can't be fixed.
Very reliable car. Haven't had too many problems with this car. I just need to get the transmission fixed now. I'm keeping it forever!!!
A Question: Did your mechanic tell you if the transmission problem was with the planetary gear? If so my 93 had the same problem. When my mechanic showed me the old part he also showed me about 15 others he had removed and replaced for 93 Tempos. He said that the pre-93 models planetary gear (and he showed me a couple of them) was 1/2 inch more actual gearing and didn't seem to wear out. The previous transmission problems with pre-93 vehicles was torque converters. Interesting.
