you mis-installed something. I installed a new rear handle about a year ago; no issues.

change your your battery terminals asap. Solved at least 3-4 CEL codes by doing that. Plus awful transmission issues.

Make sure you get DOT_approved lights. I got these

I used the h3stuff for the metal brackets, and another ETsy outfit for the shrouds.

A $4k trans and maybe $500/year in maintenance. Guess how much a replacement vehicle is going to cost you? $25k? $35k? New...$75k? Just sell it as is if you don't want to spend the money to fix. Someone will grab it from you and have the trans rebuilt. We live in such a throwaway society.

get a compression test. Then a leak-down test

Often, it's that gasket above the oil filter. I.e. where those two bolts are holding onto that one thing (forgot what it's called). Start a new thread.

Get new battery terminals asap. Stinger makes good ones.

Any ideas?

my alpha with 170k miles seems pretty sluggish. about 40k miles on a Jasper reman engine the PO put in. no codes, but I'm thinking cats are clogged. should I replace them?

You still running the original battery terminals? The PO of my rig said the newly rebuilt trans wouldn't shift. After numerous visits to the trans shop, he said what fixed it was new battery terminals. Apparently the H3 is very sensitive to low voltage and can wreak all kinds of havoc...

man, total cost is approaching $1k. I took all the parts (except the adapter) to the driveshaft shop. told them I wanted a total length collapsed, center of the end u-joint, at 29". adapter fits perfectly.
