I just bought a 1990 Legend v6l .. the transmission has serious problems. It seems to me in Drive it starts off in 3rd gear and attempts to use the clutch to bring it up to speed. If i drop it down in 2 it seems to use 2nd gear then shift into 3 when i push the shifter up. Also at around 60 mph the tach is sittin on 3 grand... is this 3rd or 4th gear? Is this a common problem?

Sorry for the length of this post.. just thought i would tell the problem... also how hard is it to change the tranny in this car .. without a lift.

Thanks
