Frenchi934 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 welcome! these boards are a great place to gain knowledge and ask intelligent questions. Many people here are willing to help and have accumulated the mass of obsolete parts required to keep on of these things functioning in tip-top condition. Have a look around the forums and particularly the FAQ thread. There is a lot of knowledge on here that saves a lot of headaches and money down the road if you read wisely!

86starionIA Posted November 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 ok thankyou for the info but after making a few calls there is a salvage yard about 30 miles from me that can get me a transmission for $500 shipped to them and then i go pick it up. also if its on car-part.com they said thats what they do for parts they don't have is they call all around the U.S and order parts if they need them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
