Needs washed and detailed badly (and de-alteza'd)
The fabric is coming up out of the center vents. No big deal, and the shif **** leather is frayed...
You guys can flame, but I just see sooooooo much potential..

wow, that is better than anyone would expect for year and miles condition wise. Just rebuild of swap in a nice used tranny if you have to.

Thanks!

What are your thoughts about the tranny though..? I just really hope it's the clutch. According to the seller, this just sort of happend, he didn't say the clutch started slipping and then eventually quit. I sort of feel like he is withholding info about it, and if he'd just be honest I'd be better prepared. I'll probably have it in the garage by this weekend to start tearing into it. As I got out of the passanger side after cleaning the inside of the windshield, I hear caaarrrreeeeeeeeek. I guess that answers my control arm question........

The clutch is probably glazed from it being abused doind high rpm donuts. I would tell him you dont care what he did, you just want the info so you know where to start on fixing it. Only one way to really find out is to drop the tranny and look and then start ordering parts.

I pretty much flat out said "I dont care under what circumstances the tranny stopped working, what do you recall exatly???" I got a round about answer and just gave up trying to get a clear answer. I just want to be able to know what Im looking for when it's opened up. Thanks.
