Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Hey Keith,

I noticed you are just north of Houston. Several of us are located nearby in San Antonio (5+) and Austin (3+). Might be able to convince a few to come over and help you. Dustin (odepaj, here in SA with me) has an engine lift and some other handy tools. Shaun (Your_confused, in Austin) is really knowledgeable about the tricks of installing a transmission as he has did his own too. Both guys are pretty savy around the SVX.
