Thanks Patrick 66. I have worn out my garage time for a while so until then I'm not tackling the tranny problem. I still can't get over teh fact he had an orange extension cord feeding power to the trunk for stereo stuff so it's hard telling what else has been done half way on the car. Not running, the dipstick still reads full on fluid. It could be possible when it got hauled to the impound garage that they parked it in a puddle.
