Since you guys are all about the 'manly stuff' :rolleyes: , I have a question :unsure:

I have a pontiac sunbird '94 4 cylinder. I have a bit of a hard-shift when going into 3rd gear but I have always had this problem and it's a general problem with the sunbird's that have automatics..

But I am going to be going to a college in tampa (parents paying, along with scholarships etc) and I was wondering

Should i get a new car (semi-new, it wont be anything over 14k)
or Fix this car up, maybe put some new rims or body kits(i love street cars :P )

But if I keep this car, eventually I will need to of course change the transmission etc. So I was also wondering how much would it be to take the auto out and put in a manual and what does it entail? What should I look for?

Thanks guys for all your help!

Buy a new car, (or even better get your parents to buy it) cause if the one you've got now is starting to give you problems then its probably the start of a long slippery slope down with car repairs !!
