It's been 3 weeks since I got the car back... after the second transmission rebuild. Everything appears to be working great.. as it should after the $4800 repair bill (including the 2 rear boots. Yesretday converted the top to manual... and will wait until the weather is more favorable (cooler) before I begin diagnosing why the top failed.
When I finished removing the started, for the trans rebuild, I went to close the top. It started closing... then got 'stuck' followed by a loud POP! I had left the plastic shop light between the clamsheel and the lid. Squeezed the light out... and no worky. No sounds, bells, whistles, or buzzers. Nothing popped off the 'arms' (not the little ball joint things). Everything appeared to be in proper form... but no juice (sounds) to the transmission motors.
The POP didn't reveal anything mechanical wrong (to the eye and without digging). Does anyone have an idea what may have been that loud POP I heard? Where would you start?
Thanks!
