Picked up the trans swapped it out and it was bad too... Loud whining noise when driving and reverse didn't want to work. Going to go get another one with about 40k on it under warranty Friday. Not much of the car I bought left anymore lol.

I was hoping that would have fixed it.  sounds like should take one of the trans down to a shop for rebuild, or rebuild yourself to have a good extra.

Brought the last trans back and got it swapped out with another one with about 40k on it. Driving and shifting fine now. My wife broke the hot lug off my starter setting me back about another $100 but it was a good excuse to swap to a 07 high torque starter. Just need to re-align the front tires and find another good rim to replace the bent one now.

Let me know how the high-torque starter works for you, interested in those. Glad you got the transmission working now.
