Low mileage ex co-op car. $2500. Hope to find a used transaxle and swap it. Am I crazy?!? I have seen and heard of home mechanics swapping these themselves and I have a good mechanic friend who might be able to help. When I'm done it's a $10000 car and we have been looking for a second gas miser. __________________ Vortex generators are old tech. My new and improved vortex alternators are unstoppable.
