Default Help from Philly peeps

Ok here's my dilemma. The tranny went on my daily driver (honda) a week ago and I found a good deal on one in Philly. I am hoping someone up there can help me out. My b/f Tim isnt able to take off work and I didnt want to attempt the drive alone. I'm originally from the area...just west in Chester County but I dont know Philly enough to attempt it myself I've asked a few friends but they can't take off work either so what I was hoping is if someone up there could pick it up for me and take it to their house and we'd come pick it up in the evening. It will already be paid for so no worry about that.

If anyone can help me out I would greatly appreciate it. I'll buy you dinner for the help.

TIA

Michelle

I think she is asking for someone to pick up a transmission for her, so if you can drive one of them down the street without the rest of the car I may just come down to see that.

Much thanks to PHATKOP!! He's already picked it up ! He's a super nice guy! Its just us PA people I guess huh? . Anyway now I'm trying to decide whether I want to use the rental I'll be getting when the car goes in the shop or spend a bunch of money on the gas and drive the bird up there so he can see it. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...... maybe we could have a mini-meet with other locals?

I can take the car in anytime I want to the shop but I was trying to get it there Wednesday or I can wait till next week. Doesnt really matter because since the Honda is down I get a free rental.

I may just bite the bullet then and drive it up Saturday. That way we could meet up with other LS1tech members like you and steve . Its just going to cost a good bit in gas. If my car wasnt a daily driver it wouldnt be as bad but then if it was a daily driver I wouldnt be coming up there to get a tranny ....

I must get a cheesesteak though while I'm up there

You're already worried about gas and you want to put in an MS4

Worried about gas yeah because once I get a cam installed I wont be driving it everyday like I have to now . I am still trying to figure out about the cam. I need one that I can use stock heads and so far not sure what to do.
