Took the tranny over to the coast this morning. Started at 1:15 pm by dropping the tranny in, then the motor, and at about 4:30-5pm, I drove it out!
We took it for a 10 mile test drive, and it seems to be fine. Then we drove it back the 100 miles to Portland ( I had my buddy drive it back, I drove my van). Looks like I will be at the WCSS7! Cross your fingers!
This is the shortest time the wagon has been down so far with such major sugery needed. Shattered 2nd on Saturday, fixed and running 7 days later. But then again, I had a deadline!
Whats crazy, I almost spent more on gas fixing the wagon this time than parts. I spent $100 on the donor tranny, $30 on fluid and misc and thats it. To get the tranny, and to take the tranny and engine hoist to the vehicle and back, I drove about 300-325 miles. At at 10 mpg thats about $65 in gas.
It drives once again, damned if I don't make WCSS7!
