ahh the joys of being cheap
I just figured id do some routine maintenance. plugs and serpentine belts.
plugs were ok used the factory 100,000 mile ones 7.00 ea.
then my first time doing belts...............ouch good thing for the internet I was p.off but
determined to finish this cause they were ready to be changed.
man w.t.f. i'd like to see the designer do this. but should be good for awhile i used gator belts.

It all gets easier. And ya, what moron makes a tiny slit for the belt to go threw. and then just to top it all off, have the supercharger belt go threw the motor mount.

As for the transmissions in these cars. They are strong. most of the failed transmissions I've seen are the diff. And that comes from one wheel burn outs, or to much power when turning. You only apply full power when going in a straight line.
