I hate to say this aloud, but in my experience the 4.11s do not hold up to "spirited driving". It costs the same to install a 4.44, and in the 17 or so swaps have done, NONE HAVE GRENADED!!!!! In the three 4.11 swaps that I have done, one had to leave his resistor out, one had to replace that 4.11 for another, and THEN leave his resistor out, and the third, will never be confident in it. I have four 4.44s in my driveway, one with about 345 hp, and almost two years on it with no issues! We learn as we go. Sorry Chi ke, Mitch, and Andrew.

I'm going to check the TPS (to see if it's dirty or needs adjusting), and the brake band. If that doesn't do it we're very likely going to sell the car.
What do you guys think would be a fair price to ask? We're going to forkout money to pay it off, and I'm hoping not to have to forkout more than $2000 out of pocket.

I say keep it. Shell out the dough for the conversion to a 4.44 auto. They are lots of fun and easy to do. The 5mt is a pretty complex and time consuming job and definately not for the faint of heart. I am not making my kit parts anymore because I don't want to have the time to worry about other people's cars anymore, I have enough to worry about my own. There are other members on here that would be more than willing to help you find parts during the conversion. Good luck with whatever you decide

By the way, I removed the TPS last night and it doesn't look dirty, but I can't find my multimeter so I haven't been able to test its resistance, or the voltage output through the numerous how-to's on this site. I guess I'll have to buy a cheap multimeter today. A board member has shown interest in the car for a 5MT swap. I suppose if I'm not brave enough to join the 5MT club, there's a chance he will.

When I brought the car up to you I had the choice of ... let me remember here.... hmmmm Having my insurance company total the car for 3200.00 or have the dealership that I had it towed to rebuild the tranny for .. ahh... 5000.00 dollars!!!! For under 1800 dollars you got me up and running again... I've done little or nothing to the car since, been up and down the mid-atlantic states spent a week driving the outer banks and I've been to the Reading meet.... I'd say I've gotten my money's worth! So... be quiet and don't call me so late ! I work for a living I'll be up so you can help me change the timing belt, water pump and spark plugs... You're not out of this yet! P.S... have you got a line on a 4.44 for me yet?

I picked my 4.44 transmission and rearend yesterday for $550, that has 69k miles on it and they didnt charge for a core. I started on cleaning it and will be working on it in the next few days. It took me 3 years to find a good deal in this area but if you look hard enough you can probaly do better
