Transmission is shot. Having some other things done while it's there. ...and by shop I mean a buddy of mine is in a technical school for auto repair and he can get my car in and do the work for "class" and I don't pay a dime...except for like reusable and parts...and for the flywheel resurface.
From the What did you do today thread...unfortunately since it's snowed so much...or supposed to our whole town is pretty much closed. So he won't be working on it today.
Just realized the most important thing isn't even in the list! Swapping in a "new" tranny!Originally posted by Prafeston View PostThe list of things to do while it's in the shop:
Rear main seal
Axle Seals
Valve cover gasket
Oil/filter change
New Bushings in the Shift Linkage
Civic Short Shifter
Having him inspect the cooling system as I think there is a leak
Having him inspect the brakes as I think there is a leak
Lube the speedo cable
Check the spark plugs
After I sent him all that I said, "I know it's long, but I think that's everything. Haha" He wrote back, "You forgot one thing. A new car"
Told him one day he might have to help me do a B6T or BPT!!!Last edited by Prafeston; 02-21-2013, 11:22 AM.Comment
