The real problem was that the right side motor mount bracket broke causing the engine and transmission to be tilted to the right. As a result, I could not shift into 5th or reverse. There was a lot of vibration that I thought was coming from the transmission. The guy at the shop said it was the catalytic converter. I should have known better. I never even looked at it until I put it on the rack at another shop to check the converter. That's when I noticed that something was wrong with the mount. How they even got the transmission out of the car and back in is beyond me. I went back to the shop and asked them how they missed the mount problem and they just stared at me. I think that the angle of engine and trans keep me from being able to shift into 5th . After fixing the mount problem, it was almost impossible to shift into 1st and 2nd. I usually won't do something like that without looking at the situation, but it had been a bad week already, and my wife was hollering to do something about her car so it did. Well the old saying, act in haste, repent at leisure was sure true in my case. Where might I find the Redline transmission grease. I have never seen that brand.
