My auto tranny is shot in my 91 Acclaim. There is a LaBaron for sale locally for a couple hundred bucks that has had an engine fire. I was wondering if anyone knows if a tranny will survive an engine fire. Im thinking that the only problems will be with the external wire leads melting. I dont know how they lead into the transmission and if I will be able to remove them and replace them with my own. Anyone with any engine fire experience?

 

as long as the tranny wasnt touched by the fire or damaged in anyway id take a guess it should be ok. just go over it very well before you decide. id ask what cuased the fire. a short or if it was somehow abused or something. just my oponion
