Mine was locked up and needed a couple of months of ATF soaking in 2010 before I could break it loose. When I bought it I was told that "just needed a starter", it has been working on that starter for 7 years.[/QUOTE
Yeah thats what usually happens, the seller picks the cheapest part to explain why it wont start, or run, or needs an alignment lol.
Fortunately for me I know this cars whole history since my father owned it since about 65' so no suprises : )
