[DML] Re: Fw: First Outing With My DeLorean-STRANDED

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If it was shifting "very clunky" it must have been that the vacuum
modulater was not working and the line pressure was not correctly
adjusted. Even so it is a stretch to conclude that was the cause of
the shaft failing. Maybe the shaft was not handled properly at some
point before it was ever installed or maybe it was not made or
heat-treated properly. You are lucky you got someone that was able to
diagnose the problem correctly. Most of the time they do a complete
autopsy and in the course of a total rebuild they find and fix the
problems.
