thanks guys, yeah i forgot the search feature. CSVT#49 is coming over to help. i managed to drop everything enough to get the trans almost all the way out, with his advice. and to pay him back (once its broke in) i'm going to let him take a pass with some n20 to see how a drugged up contour rips

also $$ are in order of course, that goes for anybody that comes to help me with a project. thanks for the help so far!
