Does anyone have a write up on how to remove the rear transmission mount and bracket for a 1995 riviera S/C? I've read that you support the transmission by the pan and take off the end links for the sway bar and remove the mount. But in other threads it says you have to lower the sub frame and...

I have a 60,000 mile LeSabre Custom with the 3.8L(?) V-6 that tends to idle rough when the car is in drive and stopped in traffic. Once in a while, it will stall as I shift from drive to reverse. Otherwise it runs great. Independent technician suggested running Techron in BP 93 octane gas...

I was wondering if someone could offer some advice. History: I recently purchased a 2005 Buick ParkAve Ultra with just over 156k miles. It was shifting a bit erratic so I took it to a well renowned transmission shop and they rebuilt it due to the computer detecting excessively long shift...
