After waiting to get all the parts gathered to put the new tranny in and take care of stuff that can only be fixed with the motor out, I go get the engine hoist and begin pulling the motor. I take my time and it takes about 2 hours because it's getting dark. Things that need to be done; intake/exhaust gasket, lower radiator hose, motor mount, tranny mount, and tranny.
1. $590 for a tranny with broken bolt holes. I take it to school and work on it in my spare time, takes about 2 weeks... luckily I waited till I got the new tranny to pull the motor/tranny, so I knew not to pull it right away. And another $35 for fluid and RTV.
2. Wrong intake manifold gasket, this will take probably 1 week to ship there and it took a week to get here, so 2 weeks to get the right one... in addition to getting the first one.
Now my motor/trans will be sitting in the way or in the weather while I wait for the only people that have the gasket to ship it here.
Gotta love it.
