Hi Javier,
I was afraid you'd be too far away for me to work
on your car. I would definitely have them rebuild the transmission that's in the
car now for several reasons. It will be cheaper, you know it already fits, and
although not as important to Imperials as alot of the muscle cars I work on, the
numbers will still match with the VIN # of the car provided it hasn't been
replaced before. A standard Torque Flite rebuild at our shop runs about 250.00
unless there is some major hard parts that need replacing. I do alot of them and
if you're on a budget used parts are plentiful. As far as your brakes are
concerned, it sounds like the front rotors need to be resurfaced. If they are
worn past the limits, new ones aren't all that expensive and alot of times we
just go ahead and replace them regardless. Especially of front wheel drive cars
the front rotors do the majority of the stopping and after resurfacing them they
are thinner and tend to warp again in short order. Make sure that your brake
caliper pistons aren't stuck and return freely into the bores in the calipers.
Good time to repack the front wheel bearings too.
