Just go to neoncanada.com or maybe its .net. Dude gave it to me for free, just had to pay for shipping. I had one for sale last year. The 00-01's are way cheaper than the 02's which only fit on the 02 front end.

so i'm done with installing the Timing belt and new head gasket. And look around under the car. This is what i see Right under the Torque Converter
Image



Now i'm guessing why the car won't turn over is the TC is busted. when i turn the crackshaft it make the same noise........ This sucks. did all the engine work only to find out its the TC that busted. Ow well just have to take it to the shop and replace the TC.

The TC is under warranty from NatPro. Only cost me $75.00 have to tell my boss the TC we got was a defective one.
