got a very reliable local shop to take a look at it. it is the tranny that is bad and not the clutch. do not know right now what the price is going to be to replace it. doing research there are a couple of sites that say that the tranny for the trooper is the same as the 5 speed for the 89 s-10. is that true? are they interchangeable? also can i get the trooper home and rebuild the tranny? thanks guys. The engine is a 2.8 liter v6.
