ok guys i know i'm opening a door here but i could use some help deciding what to do about my car, i had decided to part her out and but a swapped 96 i found in Origon but i didn't get the responce i needed out of the idea, i guess people are like me and broke! so my car still sits, i have sold a few spare items out of my closet but nothing off the car so i have options. The problem with the car is that i have lost 5th gear, when i select 5th i get nothing but the faint sound of grinding (like someone shaking a bag of metel pieces) so i need to replace it, i have a little money but not enough to do the work. i do however have some one looking into buying my projectors so here is my question....
do i.... A. sell the projectors and put the money into fixing the Transmission? B. continue with the whole part out until i have the rest of the money for the 3sgte i saw and hope its still available? C. give up on the whole idea completly and just drive the G6? any thoughts would be appreciated as i have put everything on hold while i try and figure this out.... -------------------- You're here for a good time, not a long time. - Colin McRae When in doubt...

How were you justifying buying a swapped car if you do not have finances to spend much less on a task like fixing transmission?
Driving a swapped celi is not exactly cheap. They do eat gas. Mine gives me a steady 280 miles to a tank using 93 octane. Swapped cars also require maintenance which is not cheap either. Typical issues are broken engine mounts, blown turbos. Not that its typical for swapped cars to be money sinks but its certainly something worth considering. -------------------- Captain Pessimist
