• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

What to do??

So on my 02 40th anniversary decided I didn't need 4th gear anymore. It's going to need struts on all four corners lower control arm bushings and a few other small repairs. Not sure if I want to put that much money into a car with 216,000 miles.
 


If that's all it needs, fix it. Rockauto is your friend. Good cars cost more than it's going to cost you to put a trans and the other parts in it.
 
4 monroe quick struts, 2 new Dorman lower control arms (will come with new ball joints AND the bushings- all one piece). Used trans and there you are. If you search hard enough you can do all this for around $1000. This is assuming you can do all the work yourself. Also check Amazon.com for the parts as sometimes deals can be had there as well.
 
I can do the work. I can get all the struts,control arms and other parts for around 350 shipped from Rock auto. The trans is going to be a pain. May just pull it and get it rebuilt. Figure that's safer than a used trans
 


actually, replacing the 4th gear shaft isn't that bad, I am in no way transmission literate and I did it myself on my GTP using a write up on this site...the hardest part is getting it out of the car
