~ Alternator is toast, gotta wait for that to come in.
~ Called the "stealership" that I deal with and had them look up the service history on this car...said it hadn't been in their shop...so I contacted the next one in the town below, where the car lived for a while. They told me that they had not seen the car for 2 years and that transmission service had been done to it in 2017. I asked the details of the service and it was a drain and filter and go. Manager said it was in for an oil leak, not a transmission problem, but that vibration of the drive train had caused an exhaust leak that they fixed and engine motor mounts as well....made me suspicious. I asked if the transmission cable connector was replaced and he said no...they sent it back out leaking.. wow!
~ He said something about brake fault codes that they had to clear....hmmm...BAS-ESP light? I saw that light when I cranked it a couple of times, other times, it did not illuminate.
~ As I read about the 722.6, I read that when a clutch slips it can cause shuddering of the transmission unit....which might explain the issues the previous owner had.
~ I'll know more about the stuk in park issue when the alternator is replaced delivering proper voltage and the fluid level is proper , filter, and connector are replaced.
