Worst Car Ping!!!
As I recall, the mainline GM RWD automatic transmissions in the 1970s had a nylon band on the reverse clutchpack. Really, GM, you couldn't use metal? No one anticipated that the hot-cold cycling might make the nylon brittle?
And as for jacking that other Renault with only the doors closed, I know of one Taurus in my family whose doors wouldn't open while the car was up on a jack. It doesn't have a frame, so why are we surprised?
Hi, Sully:
I owned a 4 Door Renault Alliance (my Road Toad) during the early 1980s. Excellent gas milage. Comfortable ride. Never had a problem with the engine, transmission or rust.
An all-around good car!
Jack.
Top of the list, in my book...no mas, never again!
