    I have great luck at my local junkyard. I really doubt the tranny would be bad its hard to blow a 5spd tranny and plus I shifted through all the gears while it was off and still in the car and it felt great. too bad I couldnt have test drove it lol. it had no battery or they wouldve let me.

    they let me and my buddy drive his truck back into the yard and I had jack, stands, and plenty of tools, and we had it out in about 2 hours without pulling the engine. the hardest part was all the suspension was rusted together and I couldnt hardley get any of the suspension apart.

    I hurt the donor 3geez's drivers fender badley lol

    Very nice. You don't need to pull the engine to remove the tranny. I know i didn't when i replaced my clutch, you jsut need a set of helping hands.

    Well see I removed all of that and did the rebuild at the same time but it has hella acceleration now though. but I cant say if the AC and vac removal did anything cuz I cant compare a good running engine with all of it and without all of it
