how far in GA are you from daytona?
Going to keep it afterall
Finally!! I found somebody in the area that's going to replace my tranny with a good used one for $650. He's going to find one for me and replace it after I drop the car off and get the body work finished on the 18th.

I'm stuck with mine too. It's getting fixed. So, I'm gonna scap the nitrous idea since this new tranny costs so friggin much and just get my wheels and gears installed.

Well this problem is solved. Cars tranny finally gave up the ghost. Had to get it towed to the local transmission place. No 4th gear and convertor crapped out. On the good side, I was told it'll cost at most $1500 including, tow ,labor and parts. Which still leaves me with some from the $2400 the insurance gave me to put aside towards getting the front end damage repaired. Atleast now I'll get some more exercise hoofing it until Friday anyway.

So, if anyone is having TRACTION ASSIST problems with their Mark VIII, dont take it to Geno...he obviously doesnt know how they work! :N
Seriously though...Here is my Black 94, with a full JMOD-spec tranny, and my buddy Todd's 97 LSC that I also did a JMOD to. Listen carefully...they both chirp at the exact same time(BTW, the more HP you make, the less firm the shift with a JMOD)

I am telling you guys...if you go to AAMCO, you will throw away $2200.
send me the money, I'll fly out the Mass, and bring a better tranny AND converter, and install it, and have some spending money left over.
seriously...take a roadtrip to jersey...get it done. or, if that is not an option, go to greenleaf.com, and buy a "take out" 98+ tranny with low miles, that will require very little modification to make it fit/work, and end up with a better tranny than aamco can build, for less money.
