jsaig1,
Mine had a trans leak from the rear output seal, and the front input shaft flange- I pulled it myself (with the help of a friend to lift!)- only cost about $30 to fix, and self labor
I know V's performance is down in OC and builds these cars, I was planning to contact them about getting my car aligned after I solve my coolant leak fully (down to one leak from the upper water neck bolt- doing that now).
I did my own RT suspension upgrades- last thing was the ball joints, hence the pending alignment.
I went over my car myself- ended up rebuilding the whole rear suspension pretty much (installed zerks on the lower arms, new upper outer heim joints), and my car needed new CV boots when I got it, so I swapped all 4 (age cracking- one tore). I never want to do that again. Randall's advice is spot on- when he tells you to check a wear item, it's probably worn out!
