Default an update after my absence. 98 XK8 from sebring, fl

Okay, After all the ECM/ECU issues and immobilization stuff... it is alive. my jag purrs. If you recall I bought this car as a project, and not running. well it now cranks and runs nicely. Now on to other problems... it won't move. It feels like there is no fluid in the transmission. I could get it to roll a little bit in either direction but not very well. I let it warm up (most likely the longest it's run in a couple of years) but it still didn't move any better. I guess it's time to look at the tranny.

I am so pleased to hear that you got it running, and its wonderful that youre not giving up. Stick with it, I know it will be worth it.
