cool, thanks. do you think it would be easier to pull the engine or the tranny? also, sometimes, especially after driving at highway speeds and after i come to a stop, when i throw it into to first gear and start off again, something really weird happens, almost like it slips or isn't quite in gear. it kind of rumbles along and definitly doesn't have the power it normally does. i don't really know how to explain it, and it only happens occasionally, not every time i stop and go. sometimes is happens into second gear as well, but it usually goes away and everything seems normal from second/third gear on. could that be due to getting leaking oil on the timing belt? or could it be a tranny problem?
