1. kinda sounds like a wiring short, youll have to track that down. Could be a dead ECM, battery, alternator, etc.

2. Shift linkage is screwed up somehow, I hope.
3. dont know, shouldnt be hard
4. depends on whether you have R12 or R134a, R134a is dirt cheap, R12 aint
5. Contemporary corvette or any junkyard that has a vette in it, wouldnt expect it to be cheap tho

It may be a ground wire that connects to your tranny's bellhousing has broke or come off....There are a few that are clumped together and I believe one of them is for the ECM....Good Luck

P.S. Didn't look to see what year car you have but my guess is it would be atleast $250 for a top but more lkely more.... :nonod:
