Just a newbe posting to try an keep Bill W from going nutz.
Just went through my first tranny drop and clutch replacement. I know at 40+ it's a bit lame but oh well. Learned a few things, I'm not as stupid as I thought I was, am I not as strong as a once was, and lastly patience is truly a virtue. No wonder why mechanics are always wearing their "angry" eyes.
A big thanks goes out to the site for all the info, I managed to do this in 12 hours (not at once), and all is well. Clutch works like new, no fluid puddles, and found no extra parts.
way to go,
as for the "angry" eyes I can't say that I have them, I have been wrenching for almost 30 years and can't remember getting mad at a car, truck or aircraft or anything else, and yes patience is a virtue and one I was blessed with. that could be why I get all the intermittent electrical troubleshooting jobs?
