What did I do now

That doesn't surprise me, the 8v and 12v w201's weren't much to write home about in the power department. They still look awesome though! Great lawn ornament!

Lol now I come to a decision. Buy a transmission or a transmission rebuild kit? Or sell motor, interior parts, and all electronics for enough money to do a v8 swap and a straight axel.

Or... 16v swap

Yea very true that 2.6l is just horrible. I'm The motor would be leaving in multiple parts seeing as parts on them sell for more that the motor itself. Interior parts would maybe get me $200 misc electronics and other in necessary items possible $130.
The master rebuild kit is only $280 and the servo piston that is most likely the reason the car has no forward gears is $130. I'll probably just check and see if the piston broke. If not I'll pull the trans and see it the forward drum and one way clutches are still good before I spend the money for the rebuild kit.
Auto transmissions only take about 3 hours to rebuild mostly due to all the cleaning required.
