travis' brain dump

ok… so I found a transmission *knock on wood*

I went and picked it up a little bit ago but it has a busted forward housing. This isn’t a huge issue seeing as how I just got a transmission for $300 that I need to swap my housing onto. I think I can deal with this. I am however frustrated that I have to add 2 hours to the workload, but hey, 2 hours for $200 not too bad. I was also able to score a part for Sharon’s car that will hopefully fix her issue with a noise in the front end. I got that for… FREE. Hey, if you’re gonna borrow someone’s car, at least return it in better shape than you got it right? 🙂

I’ve got to go out and clean the crap out of the garage now so I’ve got room to work. Then I need to go pick up some fluids and such for my tranny. It’s a shame I don’t have any more Redline… that stuff is awesome. I feel totally drained right now. I got jack for sleep last night and yeah… nothing like emotional stress on top having to figure out all this crap for the car. woo… friggin… hoo….

It’s okay though… If all goes well then here is my battle plan:

Tonight -> pull old trans (maybe swap housings)
Tomorrow -> swap housings if not done tonight, install new trans
Tomorrow Night -> drive again hopefully
Saturday -> final checks on bolts and stuff, work on Sharon’s car.

If all works out, I should be dead by Saturday evening, but the cars will run great.
