So Im working on my car pulling the tranny out to install my new clutch motor mounts and headers and I got the tranny out and I was working on pulling the bell housing breaking the bolts loose and well them heat sheilds sure are sharp! Its a deep cut right on the knuckles hurts like a sob I ended up going to minor emergency got 5 stitches! I told them not to numb it or anything I didnt flinch a bit took it like a champ my gf got it on video lol here are the pics! Now my hands swollen and useless and Im not even halfway done this sucks!

 

Took it like a champ?..... Man, I would've thrown some dirt and oil in that thing and kept working!
















J/k yeah, them fuxkers are sharp!

 

I wonder if those mechanic gloves would have helped prevent this

 

Lol would have finished the job n then when i was barely able to walk id go to the restroom put alcohol and spongebob bandaid n drink some orange juice. Lol jk they are sharp i pulled my tranny two weeks ago and cought myself several times on it but not that bad

 

yeah they are sharp,but if you would stop using lotion, you wouldnt have soft hands. lol
sucks....

 

Yea I think the gloves would have helped! My hands are to soft I take pride in my manly hands lol. I wish I could have finished but I think I fractured it as it is very swollen I cant move the one finger to much. I got freinds that can vouch im not a little biotch when it comes to pain

 

dont work on your car stoned

 

How did you know?

 

Congrats?

Did you get any throat rips in, Dalton?

 

what a puss ive had worse cuts here at work and just put a rubber glove and keep on working

 

$15 pair of gloves < ER visit

Sorry to hear it happened, you live and learn. Now get healed up and get that pig back up and running!

 

I got second degree burns from oil. But still kept working. I got a gash bout that bad on my palm. Jusy cleaned it up. Wrapped gauze and tape.went back to work.
Worst i had was one guy i was installing a tq converter and other parts. He did not follow my instructiond and or was not paying attention. My hand got caught between trans and jack. That sucked. My hand was numb a whole day.
Now i charge more if im being "helped" by the owner.

 

why would you go and do something boneheaded like that??? lol jk man that sucks, you should be fine to work in like a day or two.

 

Wow dude I did the exact same thing installing 5" exhaust on my dodge. Wrench slipped off the bolt on the exhaust mount and my pinky knuckle went strait into the edge of one of the cooling fins on the transmission. I didn't even know i cut it open that bad until blood was running down my arm never felt it or anything. I never got stitches just kept it clean and changed the bandage 2 times a day and my cut was probably 1/4 of an inch longer. Would probably be a little harder to keep a bandage on one of the middle knuckles though, mine is healed up but still a little pink under where the cut used to be and this was about 2 months ago.

 

yea thats the only reason i got stitches its starting to get infected now my real dr prescribed me some better antibiotics and told me to see him asap if it gets worse now im hoping these work cuz i really dont wanna cut it back open to drain it

 

Damn man that sucks... Mine never got infected.. Strange, i had grease/dirt and everything all over my hands at the time too. I washed my hands really good used some peroxide and neosporin, put some butterfly's on it and one of the bigger band-aids wrapped it put a glove on and finished my exhaust.. The next day it hurt like a bitch, I could hardly make a fist for the longest time but never once got infected. I would have went to the dr ASAP if it did show signs of infection though.

 

We call those "Battle Scars" nothing wrong with getting it cleaned up and stitch.

 

Ive had worse and walked away just this is the first one to get infection which scares me! I walked away from 90+mph motorcycle accidents granted I had a major concussion lol

 

Dayum thanks for sharing, I've been stabbed twice, its not a pleasant feeling. The second time I went Narc free. Its definitely painful. Especially If you get stitches near your belly button, then sit up after that only to have them tear off.
