    Yeah. This all fuggin sucks. Just totally confusing. This car is teaching more and more things about it, every time I mod it!!! Shit, lol. :( :)

    But I would like to thank everyone for the outpouring of help. I don't have to go through this alone. And for that, I am eternally grateful. You guys are like family. I just want you all to know how much I truly appreciate the help. And to think I was gonna sell this car......huh. Somebody chop my nuts off the next time I start talkin that shit!!!! I wouldn't leave this LX community for the world now. Thanks again. :D

    Right now as it stands, I'm pursuing one last option.....
    Jesse Greening, the owner of Greening Auto Co. (where I got my wheels and brakes, and engine bay done) referred me to the guy that builds all their transmissions for their high-end hotrods. We're talking about a guy who does trannys for $250,000 custom hotrods, and has been building transmissions for over 15 years, so I think I'm safe :) He's looking into parts right now, I explained to him I need a trans that can handle up to 1000rwtq, for my future goals. If he can get the job done for under $2500, I'll be going that route. However, if he cannot meet the "build goals" or the price goal, I'll be going with Eddie from Southern HotRod, the guy took a friggin phone call from me at 9:30pm on a Sunday night!!!! THANKS A SHITLOAD EDDIE!!!! And Eddie seems to be one of the nicest guys on the planet in my two dealings with him. Call my crazy, but that means a lot to me, when a vendor can treat you with genuine respect, and not make you feel "beneath" him.
    The only reason I'm not pulling the trigger on a SHR tranny right now, is I'm trying to save a little money (unexpected expense) without compromising quality, and I feel like I have a shot at that with Greening Auto Co. I would like to thank Lisa at BMC as well, for offering up her transmission, but I simply cannot afford that price tag!!! :( But thank you BMC for the genuine offer!!!

    Eddie @ SHR is a really nice guy! He started in a 2 car garage only a couple years ago, now hes got a nice shop doing insane builds ..

    Good luck with your tranny Chase!
