well, not much to say. I never come on here a lot anyways. However, I recently blew all the internals of the transmission. pieces and pieces in the pan. Had it rebuilt for about 800 bucks. I like to favor the mechanics who work in the rough part of town, because they know everything and talk straight with you. best deals. It was more electrical work than all the other stuff like clutches etc...

I must say, I just picked it up today and it drives like a dream!!!! its perfect! no common symptoms:

hesitation 40-50mph: ELIMINATED!Surging under heavy acceleration: ELIMINATED!Park Neutral, reverse lights on: ELIMINATED!Hard 1-2 shift: ELIMINATED!

Kbflip. don't mind. but I think you can get your J running again. I got to see a little but of your car. I was actually chasing you down Mason Rd./St Catherine's...ring a bell? about a month ago. I was trying to pull up to you in the right but I missed you.

I also want to thank driverdriver for all your help. I've never met you but, you must be one of the most disciplined drivers on the road.

haha I was reading this and saw "mason/st. catherines" and was like WTF?! I'm in that area practically every day...just wasn't expecting some random thread to "hit home" like that.

I wish I could sell my j30...seems like they aren't worth much...and god knows mine isn't pristine.
