well. finaly have some time to work on it, got the trans out and found the problem. f**kin pissed. all 6 of the bolts for the flywheel came loose and halfway out. probably my fault, may have forgotten to torque them down last time. put 6 new bolts on with locktite and torqued them down. now hopefully i can get it back together in the next 3 hours in time for work. still not planning on keeping the car. would like to get another truck.
