hey again guys, ive been away from the forums for a while now due to starting a detailing business, but now i have a problem with my car, of course my transmission is garbage anyways due to no 3rd gear, however i have this one problem where i start the car and if its below 65F outside i get this wear knocking/scraping sound coming from transmission. so instead of trying to explain what the noise sounds like i took a video of it, i hope someone can point me in the right direction, trying to go on a roadtrip from SC to rhode island for christmas and i dont think its going to happen now. never fails every time i plan something, something happens and totaly screws up my plans. anyways heres the video, hope someone can help me figure this one out!. http://youtu.be/l_HwC4fQg_4

imo (IF you can, find a trans and get that one rebuilt, and ride out w/ the existing unit as long as posible, then when it goes or you have a way to have the down time to swap em out you got a fresh unit to throw in.. just my $0.02..

i know all about being tight on funds.. im am in the middle of a motor rebuild and the work season ran out here.. so now its a race to get this done so i can go elsware and find more work.. lol good luck.. at least for now i would prioratise any spare time you can (during open hours) to hit up the pick and pull's and at least see if you can get one localy..
