Re: Worried about my car...

Update:

I was getting ready to do an oil change and I decided to check out the spark plugs. Right away I noticed the whole area around them was drenched in oil. So I started pulling out plugs and every single one looked great except the very last one on the drivers side. At first I was confused because I didn't see anything down there. I knew it had to be there, though, because the car was not misfiring at all. So I look at it with a flash light and notice that its completely barried by oil. I notice that the boot is drenched as well. So I had the valve cover gasket replaced and this weekend I am replaced that spark plug and spark plug wire. Then everything should be good to go, other than the tranny issues.

Oh yah. About that. I took the car back to the tranny shop as I had said I was going to do and he said he thought it had something to do with a thing called [and I doubt I will spell this right, but..] a Prindel Switch. I'd never heard of it before and neither had my boyfriend. So he started looking for it on the computer's at work, seeing if it might be in the warehouse, and I started looking around on line to find out what it was, what it did, etc. Neither of us found anything that even came close. So I was wondering if any one has heard of it.
