I am just being practicle for him, maybe he wants to keep getting suggestions from you guys & make him change his mind over & over & over & never buy one item.
I am of the opinion that the op should be the one to decide what he can and cannot afford. It is not our job to be practical FOR him. He DID ask about transmissions and overdrive units. If he changes his mind over & over & over AND is happy with the final decision/results due to information that he gleaned from our posts, then isn't that all any of us can ask for? I would like to think so. Besides, maybe he is inquiring so he knows what to ask for as a birthday gift. Who knows. Even if he dosen't actually buy any thing we are suggesting, the knowledge alone can help in making educated decisions and/or priortizing. With the economy the way that it is, knowledge is at a premium.
