i hate my car.

so i'm driving back from upstate ny, i live in long island... yeah, a 200 mile drive. and my pretty little work of art dumps its 3rd tranny.. so now when i go to put my car in reverse... it goes straight. with a clunk. i love it... shoot me.

good thing I'm looking to buy this 96 tahoe down the street from me. at least i know the transmission has all 5 gears.

oh yeah, and the only gears that work are 3rd and 4th... and neutral makes the car go forward too... only with a sympathetic whine to it... i need a beer. oh, and i just put a new alternator in, changed all the wheel bearings, radiator, rebuilt the tranny 6 months ago... and an assortment of other wastes of money.

clunk is not from your tranny. Its from your front diff.

Since your tranny is not working too well, I'd say go for 5 speed if you love (know how to use) 5 spd.

Well it's not an RC car that turns when you put it in reverse, it's supposed to go straight

If you're willing to sell it for really cheap, I would think about buying it. I like a good challenge. I think I already asked you about it in another thread. How much would you let it go for? I need a decent shell for some plans I have.

the tranny's under warranty, so i'm going to bring it there tomorrow and have them piece it back together. i'm definitely selling it. some kid where i work wants to pay 3500, so i'm definitely going to unload it if it gets fixed.

just a second there.

That's a 96 with how many miles? Is it a L/LSi?
