it's what i planned to do but... it goes both ways. i don't have have $1500 for a jdm tranny, and surely not the $3500 for both engine and tranny. the brakes have been problematic ever since i got the car. the electrical had been weak until last week when i thought to clean the battery terminals... on top of that, the car's 3 different colors, both bumpers crunched, and i'm sure it has some axle damage.

anyhow, yeah, there're quite a few things on my 5-speed that beg for attention and i'm beginning to think it's easier/cheaper to get me another 5-speed legend in better condition.

HOWEVER!! i'm still driving my 5-speed around (it's at 400600 right now) so i suppose eventually, i'll save up enough for a full restoration.
