[DML] Wierd mechanical problems

["secret_jedi_guy" <secret_jedi_guy@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well here we go again.  I may post quite a few more of these so bare 
with me.  When I bought my D' it wasn't in the best of shape. On 
Monday of this week my heater hose burst and literally sprayed anti-
freeze all over the place and emptied my coolant tank.  I have just 
replaced all of the radiator and heater hoses (there were 6 
including the one that burst).  I picked it up yesterday from the 
shop and it ran fine for about 20 miles.  At the end of those 20 
miles the RPM's started jumping and there was this strange whining 
noise coming from the transmission.  My oil pressure jumped to 
almost 80 psi and then the car just died on me in the middle of 
traffic.  It wouldn't start for about three minutes.  Then after 
trying to limp it home it did the same thing.  The RPM's jumped, 
whine in the transmission and rising oil pressure, then it shut off 
again.  I finally got it home and into my garage.  Now what I think 
happend is while the pressurized hose was spraying coolant 
everywhere it got into places that it shouldn't have and is now 
mixing with transmission fluid and maybe oil.  If this sounds about 
right or if you think that it could be something entirely different 
let me know.  I am about to do a full service on it.  Change spark 
plugs, oil, all filters, and service the transmission because it hit 
60,000 miles about 300 miles ago.

Thanks for all the support!
