Rookie, I ended up with a Battery from Pep Boys. It was the correct height but it is not as wide. It went in just fine and I did not need to change the cables. The height is the big issue along with the direction of the terminals. I think WalMart may carry the battery however, the one near me was out of the one I needed. Because it was out of stock, I never say it to say for sure. WalMart was definately cheaper on the Battery. It looks like the same brand as PepBoys but was $30 cheaper. . So for $75, I have a new battery. Thi, I ordered the Alldata service. I am not good at using it yet though. It looks like it will be very helpful for my attena repair as it had good looking flow chart for diagnosing and fixing the problem. I am going to order the Repair and tranny manuals for Christmas ;) . Thanks for the info. Andrew

I am not sure what manuals I need then. This is becoming troublesome. The strainge problems continue with this car. I still have the transmission problem that I am waiting to get it back to my cousin. Now, for some reason at night when I activate the alarm, somtimes my brake lights are staying stuck on???? The car seems to think a door is not shut. Well, this killed my battery so yesterday I had to find a new one. Took 3 stores to find one that would fit. At one point I had to put the old battery back as the store did not have what I needed. Well, I do this and restart the car, and the engine revs up to between 1000 and 2000 RPMs as if somone is in the car pumping the gas peddle!!! I was not even sitting in the car!!!! This car has deamons or something. It sounds like I need a repair and electrical manual at a minimum. I am also looking into extended warrantys. Thanks for the info. Andrew

This is a question for THI. Not sure what happended to my prior posts but all seem to be gone. I wanted the name of the website you were refering to with the online manual. You mentioned it was $25 a year per veichle. Please let me know the name of the website. Is this service as good as having the repair manual? From what you looked up for me on the tranny problem, it sounds like it was better than a repair manual as it encompased several different types of manuals (repair, electric, transmission). I am going to order it for sure If you feel like you are getting a lot out of it. THanks Andrew
