Default phew

so, I was installing my TH400 today (dont do it on ZERO sleep btw)

I was alone.. (also another dumb thing to do)

i managed to get my tranny wedged between the floor jack and my engine hoist





so. I called my father and he said he'd help when he got home from work. so I had 3 hours to kill..

We attacked it in the evening















oh and hey pat (whatever your forum name is now)

I removed and installed my TH400 by myself also. Those suckers are heavy. I did it from below with the help of a motorcycle jack and some pieces of lumber. I've never worked so hard in my life.
