It's some huge nutty drinkin binge fest in penticton where huge indians get totally hammed and run through wooden fences.

That totally sucks ass matt, i just finished havin my car off the rd for a month and goin through all that same shit.  And if your shit goes nething like mine did, what i suggest to you is to just buy a used tranny in good shape instead of gettin yours all rebuilt and shit, it'll be the same amount of money and way faster, then you can try and learn on your own how to rebuild the one that you currently have, and take your time with it, and then whenever your done...you'll have a spare tranny.
Thats what i did/am doing.

Sucks that you gotta go through that crap, but at least it'll be wicked when its all done, the act 2600/fidanza combo is deadly.

I thought it was really hard till I did it with wade, then realized it wasn't as hard as i thought it would be, actually not hard at all just takes time.  It comes out easy, puttin it back in is the hard part.  Me and wade got that down to pretty much a science after doin my car twice.
