Oh Great Wise Sages

Post by spartman »

I am in need of knowledge from your mighty brains.

Does it stink in here or is it me??????? hehehe :evil:


I am attempting to finish the drive train on my bump.

Here are my options that I have come up with.

Keep 4 speed and get driveshaft fitted: $50-100

Replace 4 speed with AOD I have and put TV cable in: $100

Get 5 speed T-5 from S-10: $50 for tranny, $80 for different clutch disc

What should I do????????????

I'm glad I'm not the only one that did that! I almost put a new vent hole in my Mazda pickup once........
