Friday the 13th... Part III

Almost cried ... and still trying to keep myself from doing just that...

I was supposed to head out to Pennsylvania today after work... got on 270W and ~30mi into my trip... goes my transmission...

Tow truck quote was $240+ so I got my father out there... and he drove my fed up tranny car going like 15mph to my house.... the rattle and everything was crazy... I am so lost right now on what I am going to do... god...

I just dont know...

But I really hope this is the last thread like this.. and I wish everyone of you a safe weekend.

You guys are treating tranny death like it's the death of the car. Tranny death just gives you an excuse to go to 5MT! Or at least a 4.11/4.44 swap....

Contact Tom J. (aka TOMSSVX) ASAP -- he's your man for 5/6spd MT swaps!
-Bill
p.s. contact Tom K (aka SVXFiles) if you decide to go the 4.11/4.44 AT route
