Um, just a thought but i'll trade you my celi with the cold ac and all 5 forward gears, plus the reverse, for your troubles. The car will need new bearings in the lower end asap, so i'll give you 100 bucks to buy new ones for the install. I just had a new clutch, new axles, and new timing belt put in; so after the lower end is tackled you should be able to ride it 200K or more. It would be a lot more reliable a to b car than what you have now.
