The 93 Deville made some clunking and ratchet slipped then stopped the engine. I've burned up trans before but never had one stopped the motor

Well, that kinda happens when your running 60 down the highway and slap her in reverse.

All kidding aside, so, what'* your plans for it now?

I'm going to change it out after a bit. It was mostly the ol lady'* means of transport. We had a 93 full size Chevy out back dug it out out the snow on Thursday and tagged it Friday . I have never changed a cadillac trans but have swapped a few buick parkave and lesabres from the 90s

Fun fun. Reminds me of yesteryear of pulling my Bonneville'* engine/trans in the snowy driveway.
