    Need to Get Rid of LS

    A chain called Eagle Transmission. The guy knew about the shift problems, the wear issues, and the needed bushings, so I was confident he could do it.

    Need to Get Rid of LS

    The car has the typical problems, leaks oil and and leaking radiator fluid from the rear hose. The only reason I haven't sold the car for scrap metal is because I had the transmission rebuilt 3 years ago and it only has 10K miles on it. I was trying to get $1,000 for the whole car (which BTW has...

    Good by to all.

    I'm sure it will be. It's crazy how many people still tell me how much they've always loved how the LS looks. The guy that did the safety inspection over the weekend was just a little kid when the LS came out. He grew up loving them, and amazed me he knew what kind of car it was when I pulled...

    Good by to all.

    There are many reasons to trade in a car, but I've never heard of something so trivial as this. And BTW, it's because of the car's roots. Honestly, the LS should have never been, but Ford sold it anyway. It's like the bastard child of two car companies of which one begrudgingly participated. My...

    That's awesome... I was going to have them make it look as factory as possible too. Im just going to give up on this dream. I've loved the LS since they announced it when I was in High School. I had a brochure before the car was even released, back when dealerships made real car brochures with...

    He probably says that because they're breaking the same parts we're breaking.

    Well, most of what I was going to do would have been in technology inside the car. The same company that slaved 5 days to make sure the remote start alarm was just right said they could put two 8s in the rear to replace the non functional 6x9s... I was going to get a radio with Android auto to...

    I was going to do some mods to the car... I guess it's lucky I stopped at the K&N and the remote start alarm. If I had put a ton of money into it, it would be harder for me to part with. But I think you're right jjcool00, I just need to get it going and sell it while I can.

    I've almost matched the $5400 purchase price in repairs after this transmission, and the car has sat about 6 month each of the 3 years we've had it. I think we've put about 13,000 miles on the car since I bought it in 2012.

    I'm guessing someone had investigated the compatibility with the jag computer? I watched a video and a guy said the coils can destroy some transitors inside the computer, I'm not surprised by that... But what could happen to cause the transmission controls to go bad? We all know living with...

    Seems like a part someone should still be selling. I wonder what all they replace for $160? I can do most surface mount soldering myself. $2400 for the transmission repair. Plus whatever I'll have to pay for the PCM. I wonder if I can get $4k for the car if I sell it...

    Well my transmission had a few problems, but I bet it wouldn't have been a bad with a new PCM. This mess has got me depressed, I may cut my losses either way now. I just need to walk away.

    I'm not surprised. He said he will call me back with his options. He doesn't want to let the car go without the transmission working properly because he gives a warranty. I guess I chose the wrong path, I should have sold the car...
