Film sighting
Okay, so we watched Notting Hill <again> the other night. From inside a restaurant, outside rounding a corner, I could see...
...a five door Justy! YAY! Sorry, that's probably a let-down for most of you. I'll use this opportunity to update everyone (whether they like it or not) on my SVX news. The tranny deal fell through, so my SVX will probably not be on the road this year. I'll call the insurance company this week and officially put it in storage. I have another tranny lined up, but it won't be available until this winter. My garage isn't heated and I don't drive the SVX in the winter, so it'll have to wait until spring to get installed. Poo. So, I'll have to continue to drive the SVX in my dreams (no kidding - I really do) and wait for the real thing. I've considered rebuilding the tranny myself, but it seems like the sort of thing that you have to learn by doing, and I'd rather not wreck mine (well, more than it already is) trying. So, for now, a home rebuild is out of the picture.

You know what you should do before you store it? Pull the dead transmission. You could take it apart in your basement, put it back together, take it apart, put it back together, and maybe after enough rebuilding the junk tranny, you'd have the confidence to redo it yourself. >shrug<
Just an idea. - Ca$h |

For those of you who have them, how thoroughly do the factory manuals cover the tranny and diff? Are they strictly remove-replace instructions or do they cover tear-down and rebuild?

<sigh> The 'plan B' used tranny is still my current 'plan A,' because it works well right now - and probably will continue to work well in my car.

sacrifice
I say pour tranmissionfluid over it, light a match, pray to the transmission Gods, and use it as a sacrifice.
