Hmmm hey Doug..would a trans from a 2.3L Capri from 85 work?...

Well it may last a week or so. We'd have to get some adaptor plates, and drill out the flex plate to accept a different bolt pattern. No doubt, shim the crap outta the TC studs so that it'd stay seated. We can try.

Is that thing vac or rod controlled?

Must be another Doug around here that I don't know about. What the hell is a capri? Or a transmission for that matter?

Well you say they have about 6 different sections of wire to the firewall... I'm sure I can manage to replace one of them. Two of them would be asking a lot though. I lack the mechanical aptitude to perform such tasks.

P.*. Ben'* trans wires were eaten by mice! I swear it!
