Had a second GN T top that I drove up to Woodward for the cruise, worked fine, the next year I sold to have funds for GN #1 A guy came to buy it, liked it, test drove it, bought it. Calls me an hour later saying he was in site of his home and the trans blew all its fluid out.
We can feel your disappointment Bruh!! Older cars jus don't like to sit. I've been a diehard GN fan since '87. Before I retired from the military in 2012, I was gonna get one as a retirement gift for myself. ❤ One of my mentor's asked me do I really want to be in the garage wrestling with 25 year old technology and scarce parts after working maintenance on fighter jets for 24 years. He was right.. Them jets beat my body up over the years. He introduced me to 2nd gen cts-v. I ended buying a 2018 3rd gen cts-v. We out here rooting for you Bruh! You'll be back on the road soon, setbacks happen. 🙏🏾🫡
It sucks the tranny broke but atleast it happened at home and didn't leave you stranded. My gn has been sitting on jack stands for 7 years and i just finally got mine back together and running. We look forward to seeing you get the car fixed and making more good videos.
Yo Whats the deal w the trans? I believe I remember saying to you to check the dipstick I went through multiple trans myself with my gn I have a spare I had so many issues... I think the dipstick seal which 3/4 mechanics missed was the problem.... Check your dipstick to see if the rubber seal by the handle is falling apart.... Also that cooler location Confirm with Dave.... I'd get it on the radiator bro. U need 1/4 npt threads by whatever hose size.
@@2muchBoost_ I recommend everything be flushed or replaced The lines to and from cooler. Obviously Dave will handle the trans. Maybe look into a 4l80 ? Crazy how a trans that's in new cars can still bolt up to our little v6 Keep boosting brother
Those 200R4 transmissions sucked if they are stock. I had a 84 GN back in the day and went thru 2 transmissions in 2 years. It was so bad I had to get ride of the car. It was my daily driver back in 1986 -1987.
@@SteelCityDrones not neccessarily. if he just street drives Dave's Trans will hold up just fine. It just needs to be built right with the proper hard parts
Damn bro I hate to see you have so many issues with your car. I have had like 5 of them and always end up selling them then missing it and buying another. I have a LS swapped g body now and not a single issue. I still want another turbo Buick but videos like make me think twice. I don’t know what it is but a turbo Buick just always have issues and that’s why you don’t see them on the road that often always somewhere broke down.
Sorry man. Sounds like your torque converter lost all the clutch material and sent it through the trans. That's exactly what would happen and I've had it happen before. Do it right. Get her rebuilt with highest quality parts and new converter
If I were you ide sell that Lemon is all you do is have problams with that dam thing and you don't even race it or beat on it and it still always breaking down. Sell it for 5 gran just to get some of your money back for all the times you run to the gas station before each video.
@2muchBoost_ hey buddy I like your videos I watch them all for real but it always seems like shits going wrong with your GN and I told you awhile ago that unless your a genious with these Turbo bucks don't bother trying to tune them bring it to a place like WATTS PERFORMANCE and them guys will make your car run better and faster then you ever could do yourself and you would have saved so much money not buying all the parts you did through the years and trying to do it yourself. I'm telling you it's the best possible way by far. I owned 2 87s one Gran National and 1 white T TYPE and I wish so bad I paid them guys at WATTS 10 to 15 gran and do my motor and Trans with there magic. The people that went to them are running 10s and 11s all day long and drive there cars constantly and running great all the time consistently. I probadly had 75 thousand dollars in my GN from buying the parts and having different mechanics that said they knew what they were doing and paying them also and never having my car run great and consistently. I could have went to WATTS Performance paid that money and bang on all the time cause they know these cars inside and out and all the tricks to get the best out of them. Watch there videos you'll see.
IM SORRY TO SEE HIS TRANNY HURT. BUT YOUR GONNA REPAIR IT FOR HIM AND HE WILL BE SO HAPPY😢❤❤ THANK YOU FOR TAKING CARE OF HIM❤❤❤

At least it’s at home and didn’t leave you stranded paying for a tow. I’d say it’s a keeper 4 life. This happened to me in 2013
Dave is the Guy. Beautiful car. Your car have an ASC sunroof ?
@@johnkeskes yes
@ cool my WE4 has one as well .. still going strong. Good luck with getting that monster back on the road.
Holy crap Mr boost if it wasn't for bad luck you wouldn't have no luck hope you get it figured out
Just get the transmission worked on. It's a beautiful gn .

Try turning the steering column with you hand to make it shift to drive.
Check to see if the linkage is connected.
What state are you in?
Always a problem with these 1987 Buick Grand Nationals
Sir if you were to sell it how much would you sell it for just asking
Yo
Whats the deal w the trans?

Also that cooler location
Confirm with Dave....

I want the cooler away from the radiator so I'm going to get a transmission cooler with a fan

If you are having problems at this power level, it will be worst when you add more power. I would not throw good money at a rebuild. You need a 4L80.

$5k for a gnx LMFAO
do research
That may be caused by the position of you trans cooler....
Check your trans fluid and/or change the filter.
That sucks
