Update for April 25, 2013
My apologies for the long delay between posts. It takes time to document what you've done ... and sometimes it's more exciting to get it DONE than to write about it.
Then you have to go back through your sparse notes and try to figure out what you did ... a month ago ...
Well, I tried to buy a transmission. From the confused responses I received from several wreckers, it is not 'normal' to have no information on the gas engine that the transmission was tied to while it was in a gas car. And you need to know if it was a 4 door, a 2 door, the size of the engine, single of dual overhead cams, the trim level (base, DX, LX, SI) .. and on it goes.
I finally stopped trying to explain what I was doing and made up a car with the appropriate information ... and THAT didn't work, either since the car I made up was not a popular model so no one had parts for it!
I'm going to throw that task in a corner for a while and move on with another, that will hopefully be easier to do!
