travis' brain dump

I feel like I didn’t make any progress tonight, despite the fact I know I made some… I’m so frustrated.  Most of this week I’ve just felt useless.  I don’t know what’s wrong with me. Just feeling like I’m not doing anything right… *shrug*  I guess I know better but it doesn’t really do too much to help. I’ll be glad when this passes. I hate it.

So, I got as far as I could tonight on this thing – no where near where I wanted to be, but I can’t do too much without help from here out. I got all of the wiring harnesses and connective parts off the transmission and pulled out the splash guards and such… drained the transmission and pulled the axles. All that’s left is to actually drop the subframe off the car and then unbolt the transmission from the engine. A couple more hours of work, with help. Then it’s the long haul of putting it all back together. I really hate doing this out of necessity. I love doing things like this for fun, just not when I have to.

I must have destroyed this transmission. When I drained out the fluid, there were metal bits EVERYWHERE in the fluid. It would almost be pretty if it didn’t signify such destruction of an important piece of equipment. Once I resize some photo’s and clean up some of the pictures I’ll post some up.

Anyway, that’s where I’m at.

I’m gonna go take a shower. :/
