:koolaid: my 3gee. it has taken a turn for the worse. its pissing powersteering fluid, pissing coolant, letting out brake fluid, has a bad idle due to a vac leak, it has a bad drivers axle, and a bung trans, now if it were one of these alone i could probably deal with it where as i just started working and havent gotten paid, nor can anyone lend me the money well it looks like i may have to junbk it or part it depending on if i can hold it here long enough

That's a long list sir. It's hard to want to hang on to a car when everything is going wrong. If funds are tight, though, the question becomes, are these insurmountable problems or are they the kind that are overcome with a few hours and a few dollars. The vac leak costs little more than time to fix. The coolant leak could be a head gasket or just an $8 bypass hose. Ditto for just about everything on the list. If you analyze the issues carefully, it might be cheaper to keep the car than to ditch it and try to buy something else. Good luck on whatever you decide.

well check with people on here someone already offered a tranny, sounds like he was giving it to you, good deal for shipping, this site is a huge source of used parts. make a list of what you need and fix it one problem at a time.
