2nd stage:

i have replaced the clutch, starter and alternator with brand new parts. these parts have been submerged under water and have been heavily damaged but its good that water did not damage the engine and transmission. good thing about this is the condition of the engine is again like brand new. also, bought a new 2sm battery so everything would be running perfectly.
