Thanks for all the replies.  I guess I should have mentioned where I'm at.
I'm in northern Michigan, close to Gaylord.  Is anyone close by??

How hard of a job is it to replace the tranny myself?  I'm pretty good with
cars but front drivers are intimidating to me, I've never pulled a FWD trans
or motor.  I've done it many times on rear drivers though!  Any special
tools needed?

I emailed FPS to ask a few questions about their unit.  That sounds like the
way to go, if I can install it or get someone to install it.  What are the
shifts like with the shift kit they use?  If I'm going to fix this again I
want to be able to drive it like a SHO!  After my last rebuild I was so
scared of the trans, it caught me at a bad time, so I babied the car for
years.  The last year or 2 I started having fun with it again, but I very
seldom did WOT 1-2 because it seemed to grab real hard, but not in a good
way.

Thanks again
Jack
