Well my collection of tools has dwindled some of the course of the past few (ok 10) years, however some/most autoparts chains (major chains that is) will rent or even loan tools specific to the job being done (or in my case it would give me an excuse to buy a bunch of tools! )

Oh, you may want a tranny jack (but any jack will work if you have 2 people).

I took a look at shelf's car and it seems that there is no flaring. The 1-2 shift is a little slow, but everything seems good. I attempted to do the brake band adjustment, but the nut was torqued down pretty good. We probably could've gotten it loose if we really wanted to, but I think he should be ok.
Ken, let me know how the throttle body cleaning turned out!

well i did something drastic that i thought i'd never do. today, i traded in teh claret and the jeep on a hyundai! this move will save me about $300/month so it's not all bad. i always figured i'd have the claret forever, but after several hours, i negotiated them down to where i could be happy with my decision. in any case, i hope to be in another svx in the future. oh wait! i still have one! now do i put it into weekly driver status?
