im not even gonna read through what everyone else has said, but im happy to give some good advice.. if your car is running and driving fine - LEAVE IT THE HELL ALONE. please dont start dumping time and money into a $2500 car that doesnt have anything wrong with it,ESPECIALLY if this is what your driving everyday. if you have the parts, keep them. if your trans goes in the future - then do it, and avoid paying $1800 - $2000 for a rebuild on a car thats only worth a little more than that. chances are this is just a phase your going through, and it will pass as soon as something else grabs your attention. you are just asking for a head ache and will likely kick yourself in the @ss later for inventing your own problems..

 

Thanx man, yea I decided to keep it auto, well even if its only worth 2500 I love my max and I am spending money on it, making it look good and also a lil faster, but is just the love for the car, and trust me if any other car had caught my attention I would off got it, I have a need for a 4 door and so far this was my pick because I love the look and the performance of the car, thanx again I really appreciate all the advises ;-)

 

I understand that. That's why I responded to his mentioning stubbornness downshifting from 3rd gear

 

That's some funny chit right there!
