don't want a shop to do it, charge too much. I can do it myself when I get back. I just wanted to see if anybody was bored and wanted to help me out is all.

they aren't bad, just little e-clips that pop off. Auto's are pretty easy. the hardest part is the damn dipstick tube getting back up through the engine bay...

I would take it to my hobby shop or just do it in my garage but I am thousands of miles away right now. I just want to be able to drive it the second I get home. Guess I will just have to wait a few days is all. Figured I would throw it out there.

I can swap it in 2 hours on a lift. If you can get it to a hobby shop let me know. Does it still drive? I know it was leaking when I looked at it.

You have to have someone that is on the cars documents so that they can work on it. Or you have to be there. Tita wont let you work on someone elses stuff if you aren't there.

Really? Hobby shop over here is so slack about stuff like that. Half the time I don't even have to pay for the lift.

Me and Dan will do it. He worked in a transmission shop for 5 years. Pay us back the hobby shop fees and give us some beer, and we will do it for you.

I am VERY BORED. I get to work at 730 and go home by noon most days. Have the time, and can get it done before the end of March, just not sure when my buddy is going to be out of the field so he can help me. Check your PMs.
