I left my house this morning at 3am and drove 5 ½ hours to Jimmy’s shop. There he had a built trans ready to do a swap with me. I brought a lawn chair in the trunk thinking I may take nap while he worked on the car. I watched as he put all his tools in place for the work to be done. It reminded me of a surgeon the way it way organized. I started my stop watch (without him knowing) when he reached for the first wrench. I was curious if he could have the trans out in under an hour. Sixteen minutes and the trans was on the work bench. Let me say that again sixteen minutes. About an hour and the car was back on the ground with new trans ready for testing. Glad I brought my lawn chair. Not only did he do it that fast, he did it that fast while talking to me and answering my gazillion questions. He then spent a long time driving the car and testing. It felt real good to me, but not perfect enough for him so the oil came out and changes to the valve body were made. Again more thorough testing was done. This time he was happy. It was a fun drive home.
