Then I went to put gas in my car, and when I went to start it again, no forward gears. Only reverse.

"Called our favorite junkyard. $75-100 for a transmission if we pull it ourselves (major pain in the ass though, so I'd charge you at least another $50 for freezing my ass off and smashing my fingers doing it). $200 if they pull it for us. PLus another $10-30 for a warrentee on it (his computers were down so he didn't have the figure in front of him).
I'm going to call tomorrow when they are up and he can tell me for sure what he has, but he's 95% they have at least one good one in the yard.
Chris is pondering a run up there this Sat, I can either run up with him, or give him the $200 and have him bring the trans back.
Am unlikely to find a better price, as these guys had the cheapest price when I was shopping for a trans for the Caddy. Let me know."
