Still Stranded in Burnet Texas, 85PT40

[tracyt3]

Decided to start towards San Antonio. It is definitely the
transmission. We are at the Burnet Holiday Inn parking lot. NO CELL
PHONE SERVICE here.
Will check this site when we can. Give ideas as to BEST service center
& opinion as to limping in to it or not.

MOre info; Previous owner rebuilt transmission @6 years ago. Been
great. Don't want to drive. Pocket book empty now, have a feeling it
will be hollow soon.
Wife can hear a kind of grinding noise right before it starts howling,
almost like a LOUD blowing on a coke bottle sound.

Thanks in advance
John Mann
