Issue #1
Drivers side window sash clips pulled off of the glass. I’ve looked around quite a bit and can’t seem to find much good information on a repair. I have sourced and located used glass with clips still on it. The clips have a nut to remove them from the regulator. Window has been stuck up for about a year and I just want to be lazy at the drive thru. If I press switch to go down the regulator looks to move freely.
Issue#2
Passenger front window won’t go down. At first it was only on hot days and then it died altogether. I’ve been assuming it’s the motor. It can be replaced without changing the regulator. It doesn’t matter whether I use the master switch or the switch on the passenger door all I get is an audible click. Both rear windows and drivers window work with master switch.
Issue #3
Everybody’s favorite. Transmission. My check engine light isn’t on. I don’t get any warnings in the message center. On occasion when stopping to a complete stop the transmission will fail to downshift from 2-1. It will give me a neutral condition. I’ve been able to get it to clunk into gear by holding my left foot on the brake and giving the car a rev. It will violently clunk into gear and then be fine for sometimes months on end. It will spin the tires and run all the way to shift point perfectly with a quick shift to second with no slip. I did a pan drop and filter change at 125,000 miles. Since the factory reusable gasket was there I assume I was the first to do a fluid change. It’s been 15,000 miles and I’m due for another change. Should I do a flush this time, or another pan drop?
Thank you everyone in advance. This is my second conti and I drive it everyday. It’s a snow belt car and has the rust on the rockers and dogleg areas. It won’t ever be perfect, but if I can improve a couple things, I could be happier with the car. Also as a side note I need the car to last another 2 years. I’ve had it for 3 and average 5000 miles a year.
