Osan or Kunsan? Maybe if things in the world work out you can take an AF Space-A flight to Japan and try to bring it back or work out having them ship it? Lol you never know.

well i can get them to ship it but i have no lift or crane to pull the motor and tranny, i work everyday of the week lol i mean if there is just a mechainic anywhere in south korea that can do it and someone knows of that mechanic that information would be extremely helpful, was thinking of putting it on jackstands, but then have nothing to pull ther motor with lol.

I wish I could help, but this thread does not fit in this tech subforum and there's nowhere appropriate to move it.
