so idk were to even start with this story. so lets see i had to drive my good pal katelin and my girlfriend emily home and it was going on 20 after 11. and so, i was cruisin down 70th and jamaica like i have done so many times before, and out of the blue all i hear is kaboooom!!! from under my car! and i smell transmission fluid and my little blue satty goes dead. i lost power to everything so i had to rip on the e brake to stop. and well some guy pushed it off to the side of the road and i called ma step dad. he showed up and we looked over were i heard the boom and there was chunks of my tranny just chillin on the road followed by a redish tinted trail of tranny fluid. so i went over to the stop sign at the corner and there was some sort of gear and a rod that was supposed to be holding that gear somewere in place just laying there in a puddle of pink. so i looked at the bottom of my turd and theres a big gaping hole in my transmission. so.... yah thats about it. were gonna have it towed to the dealership that supposedly "fixed" my transmission about 3 months ago and gave me my reverse back. but the part that most sucks is i dont exactly have to money (nor do my parents) to fix my car right now. so im not totally sure whats gonna go down for now. but i guess ill try to stay optimistic for now until i find out some info.

so me and my stepdad finally got tired of trying to figure out this trivial bullshit with our little turd sooooo we finally took it in to be looked at by a professional aaaaaand after an addtional 350 or so dollars added to the about 600 for the tranny swap... i payed 100 more dollars to find out that the transmission ground wires right in plain sight were loose and they just had a bad ground well shes runnin pretty descent now starts up kinda iffy and when i turn the a/c on she kinda shakes a lil but all in all shes doin just fine i just really hope my diff pin doesnt feel like poppin out to say hello again =x

glad you got it running!
Ditch the platinum plugs, they are most likely the culprit of the poor running now. Get some regular NGK plugs, they are about a buck at any auto store. Platinums are known to make sattys run like nuts.
did you end up with SOHC or DOHC tranny?
