Thank you to everyone who has helped on this thread. After much consideration I fear it is time to retire the red torpedo ... for it is now the red dud! ... I'm probably going to end up parting it out, as the door hinges (2 door) and doors are still in pretty good shape, idk if anyone would buy the gas tank, but the engine is in good condition with 205k on it ... I replaced the upper and lower intake gaskets 2 years ago ... idk ... anyone have a fun idea on what I can do to just completely trash the transmission? I was thinking of turning it on, flooring it while in neutral then jamming it into drive lol ... I highly doubt anyone would want to buy a 4t60e to rebuild ... idk ... probably just scrap most of the car out. either way ... to everyone who helped with info here, thanks, you guys are awesome!
