Need help on a dying 1994 LeBaron LX Convertible ASAP PLEASE!!!

Proper scan tools are now less expensive and may be bought by anyone so
inclined. In fact there is absolutely no technical reason for them
ever to have been expensive. Their design, construction, and
programming is very well within the abilities of any beginning embedded
systems designer.

I'm not driving it. It's sitting in the driveway until I can afford to get
it fixed.

Great idea! Why don't you go pull some strings in the starving Austin job
market and get me a better paying job?

No?

OK. Until you do, quit being a dick about it!

Ah. Very good, then. Wait til you have enough money to fix it right,
otherwise you risk damaging it further.

Your service manual for this car is incorrect, or you are looking at the
info for the wrong transmission.
