ya know the bolts with the valve-looking deal that bolt the case and VB together? those 3 (i think 3) bolts go through into the core of trans. they leave a gap between the area they thread into, and the case. these are a shim that fit into that area, to keep it from warping when you tighten them. plus, the gasket is supposed to keep warpage down too.

its also very important to remmeber the order that those 3 bolts come out, he could have easily damaged them if he tried to get the drum out before removing them and vice versa. bu i still say its a typical flat rate tranny overhaul, charge for the whole deal and just replace the burnt clutches

well, got it today. seems good. hopefully. but, the sun of a buck wouldnt give me any reciept since i wouldnt pay for the case. he says hes voiding the warranty. i said, "if it goes out within 6 mos i'll still sue ya. i have the reciept from the other day that says 6 month warranty." he got mad and told me to just take it and go.
