Dang it, this was supposed to be in the Sandbox. Anyhow, just wanted to give a shoutout to my buddy T.C. This weekend he allowed me to use his lift to do the clutch in my Mustang so I could return it to daily driver status.
I told him I had done it in 5 hours before with jackstands and the shop hours are 4.5. I failed to mention that when I did that it was with the help of a buddy who made getting the damn transmission in and out a lot easier. Needless to say it took us nearly ten hours and ALL of T.C.'s Saturday. But he stuck it out and was a big help for me. As always, we shot the breeze and solved world problems in the process. He was even nice enough to feed me a great dinner! Though it was a long day, I enjoyed hanging out with you man. Thanks for your help.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) And a T45 Mustang transmission weighs far more than a 914 transmission - it cannot be lifted into position by hand. We ended up having to lower the car back down and I crawled under the lift to get it back in. Probably would have made for some funny pictures though. |
