welp guys my cousin loaned me the money for a used transmission tonight! unexpected and stoked. Its nice to actually have some good family that gives a damn.


Now onto looking for a trans. I MIGHT go oldschool aka 350 turbo if i cant find a reasonable trans. its going to be a long weekend with me myself and i. anyone near sc wanna help for a case of favorite beer? lol

 

I wish we were closer.

 

They need to break the oil fields in ND free, gas would drop quick then.

 

Well, not today, but last set of days off I got another sway bar in it, shocks, inspected front brakes, taillights swapped out, and dash and door speakers installed. Also pulled the wiper pulse board, cleaned and bent prongs (wipers still won't park right), and found an oil leak at the lines from the filter to the engine. Have to replace that next set off...

 

Alright..

so i gotta rant,and i gotta praise.

Started on that transmission removal/replace. today at 11:30am. I just walked in at 4:30 and i just now got it on the ground. Im working under a set of car ramps on the ground with no air tools by myself. previous own who replaced the engine used impacts on EVERY BOLT. i literally had to use a pipe on my ratchet on every bolt. broke 1 extension. Well, i need to find someone that can help me get the "new" one in. that sucker is heavy and all i have is a floor jack with a 2x4 on gravel pavement. im not sure what im going to do. i dont know anyone that can help.

 

Everything! 5 hours? IMPRESSED

 

Naw man i still have to put the trans in lol.

 

got a new bumper for my k5.

 

I made a platform out of a plastic milk crate, bolted it to the jack and strapped the tranny to it
