Transmission on the way out?

[91QAZ]

Hello all,

I am a newbee in the market for my second Q. I've learned plenty by lurking here - great resource. I have found a nice 91 that has had the chain guides replaced at the dealer and has 32,000 miles on a replaced transmission (also done at the dealer). I am reviewing the service records and they indicate the the customer recently brought in the car complaining that "transmission will bang in gear hot/cold, this happens intermittently. Customer declined repairs"

Obviously I plan to ask the seller about this, but does this sound familiar to anyone? I know it's vague info, but it's all I have right now. My concern is that per this forum the transmission can be a source of problems.

Thanks for your help,91QAZ

Hmmm...... Im not sure...

We've got some AZ people out there, maybe someone would come and look at the car with you.....

A bang may be when shifting from 2 to 3. It may be confused for a transmission problem

I wish it were that easy Wes, the car is out of state, so I'm at a bit of a disadvantage...

Where is the car located?

It's in sunny southern California - just a one hour plane ride away.

Could be just the transmission mount...
