Everyone had great suggestions (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Thanks!
Curt, I know I should'a had it back in by now but, I'm sure you know, as you're working on one thing on the car, another catches your eye & it's off on a different tangent until you get re-directed back to what you originally started! I got the tranny off the 1.7 yesterday & cleaned it up. Raised the car another 4 or 5 inches, pulled the blanket off the back then removed the motor mounts off the 1.7 to use them on the 2.0 since thay are almost brand new. Must have a wee bit of Attention Defficet going on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Wanted to stay home this morning & put the tranny on the 2.0 but my boss called & said they needed a 4th for a scramble... (& if I didn't attend & was fired)! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) So, after 18 holes & a couple beers...........

Craig, thanks for the offer but I don't really wanna go that far since I have the car up on blocks. After I see if this 2.0 runs then I will consider taking it back out & do a total clean up of that part of the car & engine.

Thanks again for everyones help (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
