    A304E "shift kit" - is there such a thing?

    For the 304 trans. I looked on here and at some various parts houses, but didnt find anything that sounded like a self install option. When I was much younger I installed a shift kit for my Trans Am's th350. Its a really simple thing consisting of some springs and check balls for the valve bofy...

    Ok, so the story goes, I drive to Olympia to by an 89T. I also have a buyer for my 86.5 in the same area. I get there, the guy comes and buys the 86.5, pays cash. Everything good so far. I call the guy with the 89 and he comes and I look at the car. There are some little things I wasnt...

    College Football kickoff

    Well there was a thread recently about pro football but I just find the pros tooooo boring. There is no heart in the game anymore, no pride, no ...anything worth watching. (well ok, someone could get a leg broken on national TV but the network pussies wont show it!) BUT College football is a...

    pulling trans, need words of wisdom

    So, Im replacing the clutch on my 89 NA (w58) and I got most of the stuff out of the way today to get to the tranny. I started pulling bolts off the BH, but I am pretty sure there is one up top on the drivers side that I cant see, or feel (cant get my fat ass hands up there). I ran out of...

    pics of your girl thread made me sad

    well, ok maybe not sad...but definately introspective. Less than a year ago I was (as far as I knew) happily married to the woman of my dreams and my best friend. I was living in Albuquerque NM in a nice condo....but...life seemed empty and unfulfilling. I was in a rut and going nowhere. Then...
