Hey I live in Apple Valley too, if you see a beater in teal colour that's me.

efine "grinding like hell"? Seriously, I had grinding issues forever and a day...:

May be you only have slight grind so it doesn't brother you too much,for my tranny ,if I rve the engine anything above 3k rpm it will grind so bad when shifting into gears(1st 2nd and 3rd)I can't put it into gears even I wanted to froce it in,so I must accelerate slowly,oh man talk about turtle race and cars behind me form the stop lights didn't know what the heck going on so alway try to kiss my rear end.
