I'd off that Caddie real quick, They have always had problems with overheating when they get old.... plus there's no way that guys going to do anything more than patch up that tranny so it works.
The 4100 was a nice motor when it was new.... but now that it has a bunch of miles on it your're just asking for trouble. I dated a woman that bought one.... it ran fine for about 4 months, then the overheating started..... I replaced the water pump, thermostat, fan switch, and had the radiator rodded out.... it still would overheat on a hot day with the AC on. The 4100 is a aluminum block with stainless steel cylinder sleeves.... it can't be rebuilt, one good overheating and it's shot.
I've owned a bunch of Caddies and they were all great cars but they were 70's models... built like tanks and easy to work on, I'd never own a 80's model, they are pretty good cars up until 80,000 miles.... then the problems start.
