Hey thanks for the advice on the tranny. You were right, as usual. I just spent ten hrs. getting it out. Now for my question to you, and I hope you dont get mad cause it isn't about Blazers. A buddy of mine has a 97 chev V8 van and it starts and runs like a dream, but when you stick it in gear and try to drive it, it noses over, and the more gas you try to give it, "virtually" the slower it goes. It does get a little better when it warms up but not much. He says he took it to a mechanic and they did a complete tuneup and put on a new catalytic converter. I never realized how bad it was, until I asked to borrow it to get a new tranny. I know you probabley know exactly whats wrong cause you know your s**t. Thanks For all your help and advice on everystuff. Bart
