Well I took my baby into the shop today for a few things..

Right-Front Inner Tie rod: $80
Four-Wheel Alignment: $70
Tranny Flush & Fill: $100

I also asked them to install a secondary tranny cooler and a transmission fluid temperature gauge. Well they told me that they couldn't figure out how to fit a cooler in (I think they were just too lazy) and they couldn't wire a temp. gauge in.. Well the car handles much better now, and I also asked them to check out a buzzing I had at 700rpms.. turns out it was just a loose heat shielf (whew) and they took care of it for me. It's good to have my baby back, but I'm noticing that with the new fluid the shifts are much smoother. I miss the old rock-hard slams in between shifts! I'm not planning on yanking that resistor, but those solid shifts were sure nice.
