      Put some 4.10 gears in it, keep it open diff. Twice the since you'll still have one good rear tire left and less chance you'll break the rear with less traction.

        That's a terrible idea. I love burning tires, but it's counter productive to do it everywhere I go. With a good amount of power, a stick, and a locked 3.73 I will have no problem burning tires. Trust me.

                  So, I jacked the car up to get a look at the transmission leak. Turns out, it is leaking real bad out the rear edge of the pan.

                  A gasket/filter/fluid looks like all I will need! The car acted like the trans was low on fluid, so this explains everything. Aside from the rust, this is good news!!!

                    Does that mean it will be making an appearance?

                          I am.

                          1700 miles one way, and this thing isn't anywhere near reliable.

                          Plus, it doesn't have working heat or a/c.

                            That is how you're supposed to jack it.

                            Up and down.

                                That can be arranged.
