Hey Keith,
Merry Christmas! I know it's been a long time, but don't know if I ever got back to you, since this is my first time reading this email. I was doing a little project work on my Tempest and then on 2/12/12, my mom had an aneuryism and was in the hostpital for 3 weeks, so that took away my attention from the Tempest. Long story, but looks like the tranny was fine...it's the parking brake cable is where the problem is at. Long story, but just bought my first house and will be moving in in a few weeks, so she'll be garaged and will be able to do some real work to it. Sorry for standing you up. Hope all is good.
