thanks Tom. i will keep working on it. should i look for a used svx drive shaft or will one from something else work? i haven't even tried starting it again as it is missing a bit of fluid from the transmission. so i hate to start it. but the growling, it only did it when i stepped on the gas like to merge into traffic or pass someone. i will try again later this weekend when i change the oil. i really don't think there is enough wrong to scrap it, it just needs a lot of TLC. oh yeah and money.
