| I have a 1.8 engine and i needed it to be rebuilt. i did not put any miles on the engine when the transmission decided to die. this car is an impossible car to get parts for. if i can get the parts, the book or the computer gives me the wrong part and cannot find a replacement part. i need a parts book and whatever to rebuilt the transmission and it can not be found. where can i find parts that do not cost me three times the amount than other cars. this car has been nothing but a pain for me. | |||
