I already know what you are going to say Gordon.. The car had no problems what so ever when you had it. Well no offense, but I need the car to have no problems now, not then..
Transmission is now not shifting in second. Sometimes I have to come to a complete stop in order for it to start over again. I did the fluid change on it months ago and it ran fine in the summer. Well now that it is cooler out side. It will shift fine only when I've been driving it for an hour, and even then won't leave first gear sometimes. Maybe it's the oil that I am using (Dexron III is in it now) The transmission is a Borg-Warner DG-200. Prior to changing the fluid, the old fluid came out like water and it wasn't dark red like the Dexron III. It was a light pink color. Maybe there is a lighter transmission fluid out there? The auto store has Dexron III For GM transmissions. Mercon III For Ford Transmissions and One for Chrysler transmissions not sure what the name for the Chrysler ones are called.
The radiator cap was rated for 4 pounds and it leaks its coolant out from the over flow tube after driving it. I bought a new cap. Rated for 16 pounds (cross over part number is of a 78 Chevy El Camino) and it leaks even more. It's not running hot. The temperature gauge needle reads in the middle of that square box between the center and the "H" on the temperature gauge.
Any help would be great. Thanks.
