Just wanted to say thanks to all the help I've gotten from this site and it's members this morning for some reason I'm especially greatful to start and drive my mark viii. I look forward to Everytime I turn the key. Happy Monday!

I believe that, they really tested me until I got the right tool. Update! The.car runs 150% better I don't know how it relates but even the shifting seems better than it has been could just be a coincidence. But I'm glad I got this done was driving it all weekend and really enjoy it !

It's still quite the squeeze. Hopefully I won't have to do that anytime soon again. Lessons learned though with not wasting time unless im properly equipped. I'm lucky I caught the antifreeze mixing with the oil, becuase it couldve meant a catastrophic failure. This may be a 800 car, but its...

I dont know what that means but... I definitely shouldve just taken the four bolts out and slid the new gasket in a d not worried about cleaning the mating surfaces. That decision led me to having to take off the thermostat hoses and that was easier said than done. This morning I bought a pair...

Ok so I drained the radiator drained the oil. Spent 2 hours getting the four 10 mm bolts out. I'm not an all star mechanic by any means, but this job is killing me in trying to take my time and walk away and come back later. I'm having a hell of a time getting the hose off of the...

Any chance a failing alternator would cause these symptoms if it's getting whacky voltage because the dang batt light is coming on again. I'm going to get a new alternator today too

Thank you! I'm doing an oil change and the gasket this weekend . And will take the drivers side front wheel off

What im taking from this tho is that i should be prepared and do my research and ask those who know and plan before my attack. Which is where im greatly appreciative of your willingness to help me. The cost of the parts is not anything like i.was expecting. I spent more than that for a damn...

The epc solenoid i will make sure to do when i take the pan off again, or rebuild the transmission. My trucks going into a shop this.coming week and the mark will go back to her garage asap. I drove it alot tonight after work and it honestly doesnt feel like a slip. And if you drive like a...

I sure appreciate the time and links you put into tour response and i sure do appreciate it. I have never dropped a valve body or a transmission in my life, and it makes me nervous. Do you think a normal transmission shop would be able or willing to install this kit for me? Or would they...

Im going to check the starter wires this weekend, but does it matter what brand of alternator? Would i see any advantages to a higher amperage unit? Im not putting speakers in it or anything, im just curious

The air ride works! I got the oil adapter seals you recommended and am on it this weekend. Do you think the slip is a for sure sign of doomsday? Or if it were you, would you redo it with the suggested things. Do you think it.wluld solve the issue? I dont want to throw money at it if im going...

....Ok this weekend i replaced the tranny fluid and the filter. It was so easy. I am just getting back onto the thread im sorry everyone! A lot of things happened in life and i have been really busy. I wish i wouldve checked on here and looked at the replies, but i was very worried about...

The oil adapter gasket just came in today while at work. So that is going to be done friday when i get home. This weekend

Mine does have air ride! And it works fine which is pretty nice I have the mercon and the gasket and the time tomorrow to do it. I am going to drop the pan and do the filter also. The alternator tests fine. The battery that the local autozone sold me said it was the right fit. It has top...
