Haha K thats good, I was hoping you didnt take a spray can to the transmission. Damn the person that had the car before you must have been a dumb ass. For him to paint the transmission probably ment it needed a new clutch before 55k thats horrible! Hopefully that transmission is good. Let me know if you will need a new transmission btw.. I have one laying around that has a bad front diff but the gear box is perfect.
