i bought that tranny from screaminchicken and i called around to get it installed. now the place that i had it set up with says they dont install trannys. so now i gotta go find another place to get it installed at. kinda pisses me off abit. if they dont do them why say they do and set it up. oh well, hopefully ill have the car runnin by next week.

since january Sad

it was driveable but i didnt want to drive it cuz i didnt want something else going wrong with it makin the probelms worse. ive had a few probs arise that stopped me from gettin the money saved up. i changed out the egr valve finally. it ran better then the tranny went out. what i hope to do is get it running so i can drive it then save up and buy a new motor for it. after that it should just be minor stuff to fix.

well i finally found a place to get the tranny put in at. it was still a bit sluggish after i got the car back. the guy told me the cat was plugged as there was a knocking noise comming from the cat. i removed it and now the car runs a hundred times better. still a bit sluggish but it has the power back that it used to have. im gonna have a look at the timing again this weekend and make sure its still good. if its still good i think i will jsut drive it anyways. just wont be rough with it. hopefully next year i can get a new motor put in. man it feels good to be able to drive it again.
