Yea, not looking forward to that part. Trouble-shooting the transmission no-shift issue. This is allegedly a rebuild tranny with ~200 miles on it before car was parked. Fluid looks fresh. I removed the vacuum modulator and pulled out the valve. There was a hint of corrosion on the surface of the ra...

The wire from the GEN light goes to alt pin1; a wire from where the bat cable starts split...
