Running TGP's FTW!  If you ever want help on it I'll be glad to help... as long as it's out of my driveway.   ;)  You gonna try to swap that tranny in?  I can get that tranny rebuilt VERY cheaply, it WILL go out, but if you wanted to put in a known good tranny you could go that route.  I'd be rebuilt with a non-turbo 4-T60 rebuild kit, so it won't hold the torque forever, but it'd last until you could get the other one built.  I'm betting we could get it rebuilt for $300-$400 parts and labor.  Let me know if you want me to call my buddy.  If we can find the right parts (IOW, upgraded clutches etc.) I can get the tranny built for ~$200 or so labor.  I'll have to get a quote if you want, but it'd be an idea.  If you want the 5 speed parts, I'll sell you all mine for cheap, even cheaper if you help me pull it all out.  Just remember, the tranny has a large hole in it, so it's no good.  But everything else is good to go. 

Heck, I'd love the 5 speed parts! I've been debating doing the swap since I'm gonna have to get a tranny in anyways. I'll see if I'm free tomorrow and maybe stop by, if not, I know I'm free on monday.

Oh yeah ,the only reason for no spark was a CPS that had a huge crack all the way around the center of the thing :laugh:

That is SO f*cking weird.   :icon_eek:  I'm wondering if maybe some water go in there  (could have even just been condensation) and frozen or something :icon_question:

I'm doing the 4T65E-HD swap so I won't need any of the 5 speed parts, and removing all the stuff will give you an insight on installing it.   ;)  :laugh:

Gimme a call and swing by!
