The engine light came on the dash. I took the car for a diagnostic computer check which showed it was a transmission problem. I took it to multistate transmission - 3850 hemphill St. - fort worth, tx 76110 phone #(817)921-6155. They did a computer check on it which showed it was slipping at about 35/40 mph. They took off the pan, saw sludge looking stuff in it and burned transmission fluid. They had to go into the transmission to find the problem. They had to rebuild the torque converter, replace a large number of parts, including a sprag kit, chain rocker joint, band reverse maji, sprocket stuff, etc.
