its broken, buy a new one or move onto another car.

im pretty sure driving through a puddle would not flood your engine unless it was deep enough to be higher than your wheels...you took the engine apart, did you put it back together correctly? it had a misfire and you still drove it?

^^ That is from an earlier thread you posted. So first, you never did anything to it.. now it was hydrolocked before the isssue. What next... it was downshifted to 1st at 60 mph?? Seems kind of weird that you left that info out of your first thread which is why I ask and why I dont know whether to say this is just bs.

But, if the car was hydrolocked (and it would have to have been a DEEP puddle to do that) then the engine was lucky to have still been somewhat in one piece. 99.99999999% chance that is the cause of all of this. Tell your sis never to even think about driving your cars again and buy a new motor

Dude, a used TC motor locally for us is 700 and less. so im sure you can find one cheap Just replace the thing unless you got warranty!

OR if you want to JB WELD that thing and then tell us how it goes that would be awesome too! Make Sure to VIDEO

so... what's your question?

Like what to do at this point?

Cause you pretty much need a new engine.
