Re: ? on replacing air shocks with regular shocks

well for the last 50k miles I have had a toggle switch wired in because the compressor wouldn't shut off...:)
So I think the compressor is shot and the shocks are shot and I only use it for a winter rat..I was rearended by some idiot on her cell ph...they totaled the car but gave me 3800.00 for it ...

http://transmissionrepairguy.com/automatic-transmission-fluid/.... this is a decent site for general tranny info

be sure to check level with engine running and in park after you have shifted into each gear for about 10 seconds.

here is the manual for your lesabre...http://www.vadengmpp.com/owners ...
