Well here goes after 162k when i pull out from a stop i can hear my transmission make a slight grinding sound its an automatic...so i guess im driving on borrowed time for now...im not even bothering changing the trans filter and fluid again just did it last summer...anywho other than getting a rebuild i have the money but i was just wondering even for a shop if it would be a pain in the ass to have a 5 speed dropped in the damn thing...or if someone knows where i can get a good ass auto cause personally im tired of these shitty ass autos thanks

I'd recommend getting your auto built up. If you REALLY want a manual, then do that, but it will cost more than getting your auto built up strong.

man i'd shoot myself if i had a sports car automatic ;\

I wanted a convertible GT when i bought mine 2 years ago but all the convertibles i found were automatic and I couldn't afford to start with a cobra. However now my GT is paid off and im going to step up to a cobra and since they come in manuals automatically its easy to find a convertible manual.
