Well sh*t they figure if it fits in the bag cant be that important. Should see the eagle rods I found of a trashed teg. Yeah I yanked em and put em in my pockets. Also walked around seeing what the previous owners have left behind...matching 7.5 LCD screens built into sunvisors(Lexus) Held em together (tightly) and payed 5 bucks. They take the previous owner(whomever) andI say take them.

I think they're right about buying a car with a manual would be cheaper. Plus you wouldn't have to deal with all the AT wiring issues and the AT guage cluster.... All of that. You could easily sell your car and buy a manual one! You can find pretty good deals if you look hard. My suggestion is that you look hard while you still have it, and if someone is desperate to get rid of it (if they're in debt or something) then you can make them a pretty low offer and they'll jump at it. Then just sell your car if you want to. I got my 94EX coupe for just a little over $2 thousand after a full tune up with new water pump and timimg belt, 17 inch wheels and tires, exhaust, headers, strut tower brace, and high flow air filter.

Ok, so basically the bottom line is that shifting a 4speed auto manually is not bad for the tranny in any way right? Every body agree?
It shouldn't hurt it too bad as long as you lift your foot off the gas (as you would in a manual) when you shift. Otherwise, your torque converter will hate you.
