Transmission Update (Final)
Finally got the car back today. All said and done it was $2139.57
$1045.33 labor at $70/hour.
$1020.27 for all of the parts
329.63 for the rebuild kit, band, filter, fluids
299.00 for the new converter
104.98 for the new starter
25.24 for the new flex plate
other parts and tax
12/12 warranty
He didn't charge me for a few things and updated some other things as I asked him to build it with the 3-4 9 clutch pack. It turned out that it was the wrong servo after all. I have to go back for a 10 day check in a couple of weeks. The good news is that my summer job money however I want as long as I realize that when I get done with school and a real job she gets it all. I was thinking about the $250 straight pipes from Mid America for now, so I can get rid of those rusty things I have now.

The guy said my engine will fail before the tranny... that sounds like a verbal guarantee there...
Any opinions on the straight pipes from Mid America? http://www.madvet.com/shop?frame=3.36.928

At age 24, when I installed them, they were perfect.
j/k no offense (can you hear me now?) sorry, had one more waiting to be let out..
