  that does sound very much like an alternator problem, you're not charging your battery, which should be happening when you drive. most auto shops and stores will do a test on alternator, and the cost varies, re-manufactured is good, or even just used from a wrecking yard.

  Cat, I read your post and wondered how you "checked" your alternator?. Auto Zone, Advance Auto Parts and others will diagnose it free of charge.

  A (1994, no less) Mercury Sable with 24 inch spinners. Sounds like a ride for a budget-conscious (fixed income?), geriatric, Floridian, (being a family forum, shall I say maybe?) retired lady-of-the-evening manager. ;)

  I would go to a local independant transmission repair place that has been in business a long time. Check your local yellow pages and Better Business Bureau. I would trust more an independant shop than one of the chains like AAMCO. The locally owned shop, especially one who has been in the business a long time, is likely to be an expert, and cannot afford to develop a bad reputation. I ... Read More

  I am not an expert on transmission rebuilds but my impression is that AAMCO is very expensive. After all, someone has to pay for all of that advertising. A transmission rebuild will cost you anywhere from $1000 - $2500 at an independent shop depending on what they do. As for quality, well the rebuild is as good as the person who rebuilds it. No matter what shop you go to if ... Read More

  I love my 1994 Mercury Sable but it looks like I need a rebuilt transmission due to the fact that it is slipping badly. I would love to hear any suggestions on going about getting a rebuilt transmission for this Sable. I have had problems with AAMCO when I was younger so I don't want to go to them. Any idea how much a rebuilt transmission will cost and the best ... Read More
