WTB: auto tranny

Does anyone have a 1G auto tranny, used or rebuilt for sale? My sisters transmission is going out of her laser again, looking for something cheap preferrably to keep the car alive just a bit longer. The car is a 1994 Laser 1.8 auto, i know its the same tranny thats in the 2.0 so either or will work. Not sure if year matters though. Thanks

PS this one was rebuilt about 3-4 years ago by a local tranny shop. Was never pleased with the work and feel like i was reamed on the price (2 grand) and now the same thing has happened to it again. from a stop the car would stall and not move, then with enough revs would "catch" and go. Tranny fluid is burnt. And it was a remanufatured torque converter put in last time too. Thanks

Knock

Well im experiencing knock and im not sure whats causing it. My car has been really doggy of late, so i hooked my logger back up to see what was going on. Well when i hit the gas, even just barely, it jumps up to 43 counts of knock, even when im not boosting yet, through every gear and cruising. I have replaced the knock sensor, and i do have lifter tick when i start up, that goes away after the car runs a couple seconds. I dont think my engine is knocking, im imagining if it were, it would definatly be audible. i did a boost leak test, and logged my car when i put my boost controller on (14psi) and everything was fine, so i guess i could do another and see if that could be causing it. The wierd thing is after i drive it for a while, the knock would just stop, and it would run fine again, then start reading knock, then stop. im kinda stumped on getting it to quit. any ideas? thanks

Timing woes

Well i got my car back together, with the new head on it, and it ran really good. I drove it 60 miles and now my cams are about one tooth off on TDC. The belt still feels tight, and the tensioner is holding the tensioner arm within the specs. I replaced the idler pully, tensioner pully, and its a new tensionser (except ive been contunually recompressing it about 10 different times). When we set the cam gears by turning each one towards each other with a wrench, they actually stayed there without the belt on it. So i dont know where to begin trying to figure out how it managed to slip a tooth in timing. I did the belt using the VFAQ site, and im positive i did it correctly this time. Can you only compress the tensioner a few times and then its no good? or am i looking in the wrong spot for my answers? Im sure my valves are fine, as its only off by a tooth, so i guess i lucked out on that. I know i had it set right at first, cause i drove to to work and whatnot, and it was smooth, quiet and had power, i went out to start it, it sounded like an exhaust leak, and had no power at all and the engine was idling rough. Anyone know what i did wrong this time??

Bango Bolt needed

Anyone have a spare bango bolt that goes into the head, and feeds oil to the turbo? Mine broke and hope someone has one i can pick up tomorrow?
