Glacier Taxi

The installation of a new, rebuilt, transaxle has been completed on our green Grand Caravan. Presently, the shifting is somewhat sudden and "hard". This is expected to continue for several days while the electronics adjust to new input parameters and the new hardware "wears in". Drivers are encouraged to be gentle with the accel/decel pedals at least until this break-in period has completed. (Drivers are generally encouraged to ALWAYS be gentle with the pedals, anyway.)

The broken door hinge has been repaired, though there appears to be a small issue with the latch itself. Passengers are encouraged to use only the rear passenger seats until this can be addressed.

The engine issues have been tabled pending completion of more serious repair on other vehicles. Drivers are discouraged from idling the vehicle for extended periods of time, lest we "smoke out" potential patrons.

Next project: replace transaxle, rear wheel bearings and rear brakes of brown Grand Caravan and apply lettering. Estimated date of completion: 26 August.
