Default From Los Angeles..

Hey guys, I heard about this site but just never got around to joining until now! I have a 2000 Trans Am WS6. Engine is pretty much stock, only mods are the catback exhaust and pro 5.0 shifter w/ Lou's short stick. I'm thinking of putting in a 12-bolt since I've been having trouble with the axle--again (the dealer did repair work on it twice already and now its leaking again) I'm also thinking of getting an LS7 clutch. I haven't really seen any TA's out here in LA, I've been looking for a shop where they actually know something about F-bodies but have yet to find one, any help would be appreciated. Thanks...
