knows it's better too

Should know that now I might have bigger problems now :ohdamn:! I think I found the starter noise problems, and the ruff idle :pray:. I'm missing the trans to engine dowels on both the front and the back of the trans :heystupid:. So it's not aligned properly and the trans is sitting about 1/8" to 1/4" lower than its suppose to :banghead:.

The torque converter is mounted in the crank bushing to center it with the crank to prevent it from viberating so it's on center while rotating. Because thats mounted solid and the trans is a bit lower than its suppose to be the front pump seal that rides the torque converter is beeing smashed into the top of it leaving a gap on the bottom for all the trans fluid to gush out of :ohdamn:.

So now I have over $70 in ATF soaked into the ground under my talon, I did find one spare trans to block dowel. I now need to find some one whos willing to donate one to me before it snows so I can throw some cheap ATF in there to make sure my front pump seal isn't bad, and no damage was done to anything :sosad::pray:.

Also should know that I'm SOL on getting the rest of the parts that I was never given in the swap for all my 5-speed stuff for all his auto stuff :beatentodeath:. So now I'm on my own to figure everything out and fix it all myself.

Should know all he needs to do is take the dowel he found and go to a local trans shop like aamco or a private owned shop and have them match it up to something they have. If it is a little longer just cut it off.
 
Assumes I've replaced HG already and looking for shiney emblem...

I'm having issue with cooling space in front. I have FMIC (not installed) some aftermarket "racing" radiator, and HAVE to keep AC (I'm in the dirty south about to move back to Orlando) and I'm leaning toward getting either aftermarket hood or front bumper (or entire body kit. 2g's look so damn sweet with a nice clean bk)
 
Should buy a DD
Also should not put a body shit on his car
Should also invest in some pusher fans

(damn too late)

recently moved from Minnesota.
