Transmission Work Required

Heck I can just fix yours.  Assuming the leak is a crack of some sort. If you are looking for ported units, I have non done at the moment but have several cores waiting to be done.  I also do "Y" pipes.  I cut away a ton of useless material inside where the two pipes come together. PM me if you're interested.

Let's hope she holds, and I wish pics were taken of these cables, they are sweat and well worth the investment.

That's the impression I got, in any case.

Damn...

I then called after I was checking out my trans given back to me in pieces wondering...if this one had no problems, why is it given back to me as is and not whole especailly they didn't swap any parts...

I called the shop shop and for 1.5 hours of labour @ $125/hr, they can put it back together, so more money...and I called also saying parts were missing, oh ya we'll have it here for ya...on my forth R&C:)...

It's not that Tris...but if a customer comes and pick up their car, and you had the exhaust off, etc. and notice a $2.00 header bolt was missing, would not have done so for the customer?.

The trans left in pieces I am not sure...to inspect for problems would taking it appart be required?...and if it is alright, is it better just to keep it in parts in a tub in case anything is required down the road, or pay almost another $200 to have it whole again...?

I have SEVERAL R&C's last night, a little rough this morning...not sure I'll make the drive out Colby, hope everythig goes well

I really wanted to make the trip out, but taking Kerstin to her exam, her last day for the course she was taking, then picking her up at 12pm and have an appointment to help her sister with her open house sale today...today's time has been used up quicker than expected...maybe on your way back you guys can stop by for a beer?...cold ones in the fridge

Well as Dawg reminded for the manifold to be careful taking the bolts off, they jsut did so they broke them loose, but could have easily put a new one in especially with LORDCO main shop is 2 blocks away...I'll wait and put in new ones with new manifolds...

If something changes I'll call Colby's cell since you boyz don't have a phone to call...or call mine at 778-836-4806, don't have Tris's if he has one.

Alright, I'm leaving. I hope Tristan's out of bed!

Time gone by that fast?...lol...install new bolts with the manifold once I decide which ones.

My opinion is that it's not worth it to pay $200 to have a "spare" tranny put back together. I suspect you could buy a perfectly good used one (the same type) for less than that amount.

I'd just save the parts in the tub for now (and never set foot in that shop again after you get your GT back).

Well car is ready and I may bring it out Saturday...Kerstin is coming and I really wanted to try those R-comps I have for the Mazda3, and be able to bring the Canopy, chairs, etc...tossed

Update once I pick it up...be nice to show the cables if anyone is interested, they are nice.
