Transmission problems on our van

[Danny Carlton]

We got the van last year (using money from my wife's 401k, which we are now paying for with a minuscule tax refund) because our previous car's transmission went out. I was trying to take my oldest to a tech fair at the vo-tech and it started losing power. I pulled off the road turned it off, and called my wife to tell her to try to find some other way to get to work in the morning. When I started the van back up none of the gears would work. I called AAA, but as I went outside I noticed a lot of transmission fluid on the ground, and sprayed on the passenger side of the van.

That was at 5pm, it's 7pm now and I just got home. If the transmission needs to be replaced it'll cost about $1,100. But if it just needs a line and the transmission fluid replaced it'll obviously be a lot less.

Please pray that it'll be okay. We still haven't gotten our curriculum for spring (the kids finished a whole year's curriculum in the fall). We were waiting until we got enough money to buy it.

The mechanic confirmed that the transmission line broke, but he's waiting for the replacement part before he'll know if that's the extent of the damage.

It was just the line. The transmission is fine. A couple a hundred bucks instead of over a thousand.

Thank goodness you stopped before you burnt up that transmission. You know, some people will drive them until they want go an inch further, and it usually will cost then a bunch.

Praise God for the good news!
