[QUOTE="Ryan, post: 93808, member: 303"] [b]Lots of stuff....[/b] First question is the 60k (which consist of valve shims, timing belt, wp, cps). The valves are usually not out of spec, but the coating on the shims wears down, and starts to wear the cam lobes. Timing belt, depnds on if it's atx or mtx. ATX have a 'automatic' belt tensioner, and can go longer between changing where as the mtx can not. Water pump usually causes the cps to go out (it leaks on top of it) so while your int there might as well change them along with the crank seal too. Second as J said is the tranny issue. If it is an ATX, ask if its ever been rebuilt. MTX, well, its probably gonna need rebuilt / and or a clutch. The new thing about the MTX is the issue with parts. They are becoming very limited. Clutch is another abvious. AFter that, its pretty much like any other car. But for 2k what do you expect?? Just remember if you come to the SHO WORLD, have your pocket book open:beer: Also, check out [url]www.shotimes.com[/url] they have a used sho write up hidden somwhere in there. [/QUOTE]
