probably not, money is real tight right now, and the trans is going to be a couple grand as is since I don't have a place to do it myself (hard to do on an asphalt driveway that the jack stands sink into)

Yea I hear yah, It was a bad experience when I changed mine out outside. It was the middle of the summer so weather wasnt an issue but still never again will I get myself into that situation without a lift.

well looking at it a bit closer it may not be a total loss, I think I just broke the drive chain (a ton less money, but trans still has to come out to replace it)

Woot!!!

Although I still stand by my previous saying that a DD is the best mod you can possibly buy. There's nothing like being able to put the car away during bad weather and only drive it when you want to. It's awesome seeing the miles very slowing growing on the car, you can see that you'll have it for many years to come without any problems or if you decide to sell it that yours will have fewer miles than everything else on the market so you can up the price.

Like you said before, just try to find a Z28 in the same color and it'll basicly be the same car just with more power.
