So the story is that last August I thought I broke a tranny.
It happened the day I was to leave for school. But I ad been looking at Integras as reliable source of transportation. I was going to look at a car with a friend and thats when the noise started. I turned around and went back to my friends house and borrowed one of his parents cars. The car we looked at sucked 
and so I called the owners of a car i talked to the day before. They still had the car so I bought it. 
So anyway, 7 months later I'm on spring break and an getting a lot done. I see lots of talk about people replacing their alternator so I decied, what the heck. I'll pull mine out and see if I can get it replaced. I pull the car on some rampsin my driveway on gravel. Make sure the car is stable. I pull the alternator in about 20 min (this is a v8 btw, a little easier to get to) and head down with a recipt that is now 5 years old. It has a lifetime waranty so what the hey, I'll see what they can do. I take it in and leave the store with a brend new one, no questions asked. That was last night after work. Tonight after work I install the new alternator and decide i'll drive around the block and see if the new alternator is working. But wait, where is the noise from the tranny? It seems that it was never the tranny making the noise int he first place.
And to think that I was forgetting how fast my car was.
