The engine and interior are removed, but he says the shift lever is present so the transmission could still be there.

I'm tempted just so I could get a working driver's window regulator!

I recently saw an interesting video on youtube in which the author makes an interesting hypothesis- and thats that most of the faulty window regulators are not actually faulty, but are victim of repairs and some point and not assembled correctly. I guess the window is supposed to be something like 5.94 inches overhanging the regultor. anything more or less will give the effect as if it is broke. I look forward to testing this out myself here in the next month or so
