[QUOTE="SVT F15O, post: 6033713, member: 8185"] Yeah, haha. My buddy sent me a link to a listing for one with a "bad trans." I said what the hell, I am in the business and it is a SVT. :shrug: I called the guy and offered him half his asking price. Well he took it and I picked it up last Thursday. Car didn't move and had a lot of slop in the shifter. I did some research before picking the car up. When I got it to my shop I took the shift tower out and found a broken bolt. :D Replaced the bolt and was driving it that same night! It does have the infamous third gear grind though. I have to say though, I have put a couple hundred miles on this thing so far and I kinda like it. It is the perfect beater. Yeah it's slow, well really slow but that's ok. I still haven't decided if I am gonna keep it or flip it. Until I decide, it's my new daily driver. It was funny, yesterday I picked up a 42" Sharp Aquos, the TV in the back of the car was worth more than the car, a lot more than I paid for it at least. :lol: I'll post some pictures later. It is Silver with the Blue leather. -Mat- [/QUOTE]
