Thanks in advance guys

AKA Big Country I maybe path914's B** now, but wait until he needs his clutch done. We will see WHO is WHO's B** then!

And I'm looking to spend as little as possible... I can always supply the tranny myself, and I already have all of the other parts that need to be replaced. So its just a matter of finding a shop that is reliable so I can get an estimate, so I know for sure whether I want to spend the money on this car or not (Since its going to be my beater anyway ) I just need something until my Cougar is put back together this summer, since the other car I was driving is no longer with us

Might as well replace the clutch, $300. Getting tranny rebuilt, $200. It could go on and on. Trust me, I have helped with three contour trannys in the last 6 months. Just a Plain SE.

For the right amount me and harley could do it. Just a Plain SE. AKA Big Country I maybe path914's B** now, but wait until he needs his clutch done. We will see WHO is WHO's B** then!
