Or just give it to me ;)

Or just find a new trans. quicker turnaround and you can probably find a decent one for ~$200-300.

This is the option I'm leaning towards right now. Would it be dumb to just drive this trans while I look for a decent deal till it blows up, then swap in something else? Like, is there any reason to replace the trans now as apposed to wait till she blows up?

It won't leave you stranded if you replace before it blows haha

^eh I've got the premium AAA package. They've saved my butt a time or two when my subaru blew up haha.

Anyways, I swapped the winter tires from the aftermarket rims to the stock white rims today, and I've decided to buy some new summer rubber instead of putting the crappy all season tires back on. In the meantime, I'm going to powdercoat the aftermarket wheels matte black. Anybody have any suggestions on cheap summer tires?

Still a little unsure about the gas gauge reading half with only 50 miles on the tank. I checked and it doesn't look like it's leaking fuel and I can't smell anything around the fuel neck. I guess I'll know for sure if it's really running through that much gas or if there's a stuck float or bad sensor somewhere when I run out of gas. Unfortunately, I don't drive the car very much because I've yet to transfer the title or put insurance on it :/

Also not sure what to do about the odometer reading funky. I cleared trip A and trip B at the same time, but I've noticed they read about 10 miles difference???

I have decided to keep rocking the trans that's in there now and just push through the 3rd gear grind until I find a good deal on a trans that I can swap in. I'll keep my fingers crossed that I don't get stranded ;)

The day I picked up my VR4. I drove 177 miles with a slipping clutch, doing 75-800. With 1 or 2 100 mph jaunts and only used half a tank of gas. lol. So the gauge must be off.

Whoa! You were going 800mph for a while? That must be one hella fast vr4 haha. jk man, yea I'll hopefully at least has some sort of conclusion once I burn through the rest of this tank.
