Jeremy, get over to the LS! forum Mike is on, and have a look at the transmission and diff woes he's gone through. If I heard correctly from him the other nite, I think that latest transmission set him back 6 grand. He told me he had the car in OD on his way back from Napierville last fall and he heard a bang. A ring gear tooth had broke off...and meshed through the ring and pinion a couple of times...taking out his transmission as well. I'll find out the diff he now has in the car...if he hasn't mentioned it in the forum.
