What I find strange is how the car dicided to piss all the oil on the ground and the tranny was acting up. As any responsible seller, I checked the oil before putting it for sale. I even retourqed the head studs. I was suprised in how the car was not low on oil. The only problem I could have forseen with the car is the owner not tunrning on the fan and overheating it. Nothing like what happened. How would the tranny act up? If the engine lost all oil and seised up, how would that affect the tranny?

As far as workin on cars, I hate it. I cannot even do it yet either (doctors orders). I considered parting my 92 when the block went as I did not want to put any time in the car. I have the engine out of my car and will not even have time to touch it until the spring when school is out. As far as diagnosing, I am pretty sure it is seised up. I have not seen the car but if it spilled out all oil and will not crank, that is my guess. Maybe excessive boosting on the car (has boost leak at the IC) caused the turbo to fry and dump the oil??? I have no idea how anything would affect the tranny though. I did my mom a favor in selling the car. I actually wanted to keep it as it ran perfect. Not like I didn't take care of the car at all.

I feel guilty as I have had bad experiences:
-Bought integra for $5000 timing belt and tranny went in the same month. Local dealer, I was screwed.
-92 talon $3900 clutch went at the end of the week. Owner of my works ex-wife was the seller. I paid the $1100 to get it fixed three months later when I had the money.
