Many years ago my wife took
Many years ago my wife took our 1980 Trans Am to a transmission shop without my knowledge. When I came home she said we need a new transmission..$700. I had doubts. She said it was slipping and now it wouldn't shift out of first. She wanted to take it in the next day. But I started it up and went around the block. Then with the engine still running, I heard hissing. I pulled up on the curb so I could check it out. A vacuum hose had been pulled from the transmission. It was hard to get to, but I managed to reattach it. Then I test drove the car. It shifted fine. It must have been low on fluid so she took it in, whereby they simply pulled the vacuum hose off. I was livid, but I just told my wife don't just take it somewhere, let me check it out first. Women are easy targets.
