If anyone is wondering. I ended up having a shop install the transmission for me. I was looking at paying this one junkyard $550 for a trans and doing the work my self. Then last minute found another junkyard that had one for $300 and said for another $300 they would install it. Being the $50 difference my dad talked me into letting them install it.
That being said the car was fine for a little over a week. Then last Sunday i heard what sounded like my exhaust rattling. Yesterday i finally had time to climb under the car. To my suprise the exhaust was fine. Started the car climbed back under and realized the sound was coming from my bellhousing. Took the car to the place that did the trans. When they removed the cover. They found a peace of my starter broken off inside it. Told me thThat they never removed the starter when doing the transmission and that it wasn't their issue that it broke.
This damn car just wants to bleed me dry latly. A starter is $150 lol. Sooo any advice on installing a starter in this freezing cold weather?
