Hey everyone, Just wanted to give an update on the TC replacement. It is COMPLETE !!!!! She runs like a champ. I hope I am done for now. Last month the suspension, this month the oil pump and TC...In the last 2-3 months I have spent around $1,200. I am hoping to get another 200,000 out of her.

That little whine was the A/c fan clutch, once I engaged it it went away and never came back.
