MY LUCK JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER!!!!

The trans. in my Camaro is taking a dump. It had a monster hole in the exhaust so 2 days ago, I ordered a $300 cat-back for it. I was gonna drive her untill I figured out what i'm gonna do with the Toy. Well yesterday, while driving home, she was driving a little rough. This morning I drive it and it definately felt weird. A vibration, kinda like a bad u-joint at the trans.

My shop calls me and tells me my exhaust is in so I drive over there and pick it up. Each time I drive her it gets worse. I figure i'll know better what's going on when I put the exhaust on. She'll be quieter and less shakey and I'll be able to hear what's going on.

I bolt up the new exhaust and now I can hear it. When you put it in gear it has a weird scuffing sound like a dictionary being slid down a hallway. Now it's starting to shift funny and sometimes when you put it in gear, it hits so hard that it stalls the car. And the vibration, which I thought was because of the big hole, is worse.

I can't win. I have a used 5sp. and all the parts to convert it except clutch kit, master, and slave cylinders (another $300). I could do the swap but with my luck that trans could be bad or will go bad.

Now i'm back to 0 working cars......
