      Do you have Nutria (sp?) in South Carolina or is that just north. Maybe it was one of those rats.

      anyway sorry to hear about the car.

        Never heard of it. Crazy Yankees.


        Still no replacement suggestions? I figured at least ONE of you would have to throw your 2 cents in.

          Check the shift linkage on the tranny. Could have bent it or even have a piece of the animal caught in there that is keeping it from moving. Put it up on stands and crawl under it while someone tries to move the shifter. Should be obvious what the issue is if it's external.

            you suffered something I fear every day. Good luck on the tranny, hopefully there isnt any major damage to the tranny. Hopefully you can source a dam and brackets easy.

              Welcome to the last two years of my life spending $1000+ for each of the two cars that, might I add, have no mods. I've been repairing instead of modding...SUCKS :roll:

                Sure, buy my damaged airdam (damaged on the side) and have the section you need epoxied to your good airdam and blended by a body shop.

                  Hey Clay.. Ive got an 'is' airdam that I will clean, fix any blemishes and prime for you if you want to go that route. I also have two working foglights and mounting hardware. Let me know if you'd be interested.

                  That really stinks. The tranny locked in my 84 fiero beause the plastic gear that ran my speed sensor got sucked in the gears and broke apart along with the metal key that drove the sensor. I believe the metal key got wedged in the gears or it may have gotten stuck between 1st and 2nd gear. I went to pull the car backwards and it unlocked. Kicker was i went to start it and the battery was dead (had a bad cell wouldnt even take a charge).. Damn cars

                      maybe yall should look into that.
                      Haha, I always heard it was easier to use a gun rather then a car though ;)
                      Too bad about that Clay, I saw what happend when Adam did that so I have an idea of what it might have done to the front end of your car :(

                        Ha, we had those in Corvallis. They are pretty much beavers without the big flat tail.

                        We have rockchucks here, they are kind of like groundhogs, they live in big piles of rocks. They hardly ever get in the road thogh.
