Default expensive F-up on my part

all you guys changing your clutches pay attention. im not going to get into all the driveline problems i had over the winter. so right to it. when bolting the torque tube back to the rear of the engine, be extremly careful not to pinch the big wire harness on the top of the torque tube. i pinched it and severed about 10 wires in half and put the whole car back together not knowing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!so as i installed the battery i had mutiple DIC codes and the tail lights would not shut off. needless to say i had to bring the car to the chevy garge because i had no idea what was wrong. so ready for this, 1300 bucks later i hope to be problem free for a while. ok im done ranting

You have the absolute worst luck with your car.
