    I live in upstate NY and from what i've read, only 96 and newer cars will require a sniffer test. Anything older will still only have to pass a visual.

    Help!!! I can't figure this one out

    if the engine speed is still increasing, the tach will still go up regardless of wether the trans is slipping or not. If you can hear the engine speed increasing and the tach is still staying still, your tach is just bad.

    Cant get stock shifter off?

    yea, if you have the 4 bolts off of the trans, just grip and rip. Just a factory seal (rtv?) use rtv to seal it. seems to work good for me. P.S. while you got the shifter off, you might as well change the trans fluid.
