I hear ya buddy . . . . .
called on other motor/tranny combo they nock off 125 if keep tranny . . . the parts are worth more then that to me . . .
said $1150 shipped to local ( 10min drive ) terminal . drove to lot were they parted it . 125k miles . . .
lookin like this is the better way at this point since I found more carnage today ....... YES MORE DAMAGE ......... the clutch @ 66k miles is on the rivets and scorred both flywheel and pressure plate.
what did they do to this thing .
hate to say it but wish I had a way to test the rear end at this point . cause if it was bad I would part it and make a BIG boy toy
