              Just talked with him!
              Going to actually see it in the morning.
              Just covering some miles tonight.

              Really, need to get that tow bar.
              I should have bought the car and tow bar and hauled it home!

                            well I got it and made it back with flying colors, was a little iffy at first with the tranny not wanting to go into 2nd in the parking lot I was checking it out in.....but it had first and third no problem so I decided I would try the 6 hour trip home.
                            Started down the road after making the payoff and within about 10 minutes second was no longer and issue....started shifting fine. After all the differant starts and stops and cruising along the way.....it has a very minor slip when you take off if you try to get on it. Shifting into second has a little shudder , again if you are getting on it, other then that cruising at 70 and 75 most of the way was no issue. took it to 80 a couple of times from 60 and it pulled fine. Only other thing I have to check out is why it will not kick down when you are at highway speeds so you can climb a hill or pass easier. Manually shifting into second works fine though.
                            As far as pics....you all saw them...I have pics of what I am changing at the moment....will post the changes when done....
