I'd pull the tranny at home and dump the entire thing, gunk, grease dirt and all into a large rubbermaid tub, tape that bitch shut, drop it off at Greyhound with the Evil doctor's address on it with a note that say "Fix this bitch" and sit and wait for an awesome tranny to return. I'm sure you will save a ton of money! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Actually the price is about the same as Evil. And the guy is one of the top rated Porsche guys in Houston by other air cooled folks. Otherwise I probably would send it off.
Went through and cleaned a bunch of crap off tonight. It wasn't too bad, most of it came off surprisingly easy. Get r fixed and back on the road for this awesome weather! |

from my shop's point of view:
if your engine is nasty I will ask you to wash it, giving you the opportunity to save labor costs. I will also offer you a hands off option if you dont want to get grease splashed in your face in san diego there are only 2 legal car wash places with legal engine wshing station. one is at 52nd and El Cajon, less than 2 miles from teh shop. the water is recycled, oil separated and also recycled if the trans is coming out than its a waste of time since I load the whole thing in my parts jet wash machine. ...car comes in super clean, inside and out. I know this guy loves his car. Im going to make sure I mask, glove, cover and clean. I can see everything on a clean engine. I can trace leaks. I have a more positive attitude wile working on a car that does not get me gooey and does not chunk up my shop floor. we all have time and money. some have more of one than the other. how we spend it should be our choice. I try to give my customers options. some of my customers work with their brains all day and welcome the oportunity to go primal under a greasy car. some of my customers tell me to "handle it" while showing me their manicured polished finger nails....and I see you reading this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
