unless you do it yourself, you’re looking at about $2000 or more - easy

many would say there are better ways to spend that money than to put it into a 22 year old slushbox
There is wisdom in what carson speaks. The disc is @ $700, plus the two sensors I broke taking the bell housing off (yes, it was very, very hard to move the housing untill the sensors broke), plus the labor. I guess it all boils down to
  • Do you love your car?
  • Or is it just like the Buick you had when you were 32?

    Then answer: Which to I have more of?

  • Time
  • Money
