I have replaced the tranny and it shifts fine now and but the darn motor has a thrust bearing problem. The engine idle drops and a lot of times cut off when I press the clutch pedal.
I have replaced the engine with a different one now, but head gasket is leaking on this new motor. Do you guys think this qualify for lemon law? I was told it's the transmission that the the only problem.

I was told it's the transmission that the the only problem.Besides, from reading your m.net posts, it would be simple to create a case that shows your own inability/ignorace/negligence.
Also, since you bounced your check, the purchase contract should be considered to be incomplete, as you failed to meet your end. Man up and cover the bounced check!
You did not purchase from a dealer, you purchase from an individual. There was absolutely no guarantee's set. I told you every problem I knew, we spent HOURS talking through everything.
Now you are considering trying to "lemon law" sue me? I'm pretty DAMNED sure there is no case. I could sell you a car that I poured sand into the motor, once the title is signed over, it's a completed sale. There were no guarentee's offered.
I've done nothing but try and be of help to you. I even forgave the rest of the money of that check your mom wrote to me that bounced, and the hundreds in overdrafts that ended up causing me. I'm done with you.

The lemon law only offers recourse in new car purchases. Small claims court would be the more appropriate venue for this, though I doubt this case would do anything but waste the court's time.
The selling party could easily file against the purchaser/purchaser's mom to recover the amount of the bounced check, a bounced check fee, and may be entitled to double damages (up to the maximum limit of the law). Bouncing a check is a felony if the check is over a certain amount. The amount varies state to state.

I edited the above passage for relativeness. You have to be pretty careful when you sell a vehicle. In many state, a vehicle is sold with an implied warranty and gaurantee of servicability and merchanability unless the contrary is specifically stated in writing. In the state of GA (where I live and have knowledge of this law) if you do not write something to the effect of "sold as is, where is without gaurantee, no express or implied warranty offered", then the purchaser would have recourse in event of any defects.

Filing a suit (or counter suit) for the bounced check should be a slam dunk win. If the purchaser becomes a PITA, you could contact local law enforcement; he committed a crime, possibly a felony.

there is no need for all the foul stuff 
you guys are talking here and the check was cancel for $170. I didn't tell you do depend on a check and now have any other funds to cover your personal charges (3 charges and try to charge other BS fees )you have and blame the check bouching. The check was cancel due to the seller saying it has high idle and transmission is bad, but in fact the engine was bad too,trunk won't stay open, battery size of a tank renig to hell,all the trash that was in the car. I basically replaced the whole damn car for it's worth. I could have bought a better car for damn $6000k grand total it's costing me and I sure don't have to work on it.

Are you stupid? You want the previous owner to warranty a used engine that you put into your car? Your anger should go towards the party that sold you a bad motor.
Besides, from reading your m.net posts, it would be simple to create a case that shows your own inability/ignorace/negligence.

I'm sure the courts would gladly realize it's ok that you wrote a bad check because a used car that was blown up when you bought blew up again when you boosted it having no idea what you were doing.
I'm here, I'm waiting. Stop raising all this BS and come sue me, but there's no need to continue with this.

The other items are petty. You purchased a nearly 20 year old car, known to have mechanical defects.

Heh, probably a felony.
Actually, it IS your fault as his financial difficulties and penalties occurred as a direct result of your unlawful conduct.
I can't comment on the engine situation. But it was your responsibility to check it out before the purchase. What was wrong with the original motor?

For $6000k I'll sell you MY perfect running 91, and warranty it for the next 10 years.

He contacted me asking about boosting, put everything back together. I recommended getting a bigger fuel pump, or wide band soon, as the climates were much different and it was cold as hell out here for my quick tune. Somehow, whatever he did, the motor blew up a couple weeks after he bought it. It was a new Motor, about 35k on it, pro installed by AIM tuning. There was nothing wrong.

Ben, before sale, the motor was running fine, there were no problems. (EDIT: There was a vacuum leak, prob from intake manifold gasket. he was told about this and I have it in writing as well)

You posted something on a public forum. I think you're wrong. Deal with it.
Per what I believe to be the selling party's desires, I will respond no more.
