Waiting on parts not only hold me up, it will hold Josh up. And if you know me at all, I hate waiting around while in the middle of it!
Yeah don't hold me up. The wife is being about as patient as possible since I opened up Josh's house of clutch jobs but there's a limit. We're going to get RIPPED when we start that thing. I got a fridge full of beer and a mini bar waiting for us.

Nick I'll find the stuff don't worry. It seems retarded that they don't carry smaller containers anymore. I could see plenty of diaqueen tcase fluid on the shelf but there's no way I'm spending $475 on a 5 gallon drum of trans oil.

I don't think they ever did. I could be wrong, but I thought they only sold that stuff in big jugs.

I was surprised. They are calling for 75W-80 GL-3 in the X and 75W80 GL-4 in the 8&9. That could explain it a bit. I've bought the stuff there before for my Evo before I went to Redline but not the GL-3. They've always sold gallon containers never individual quarts that I know of. The guy had a printout for me and everything saying they now put the GL-3 in there instead of the GL-4. That's Mitsu for you. It was also slambrosio so I'm going to verify it again. I've learned the hard way to never trust those idiots.

I think we can get the trans off the car in 2-3 hours, what you think?

That's doable with both of us going at it. I've done the whole thing in 6 before.

Come on over man. It'll be payback for when I do yours. The X just sucks on so many different levels but the 8's and 9's are a breeze once you do a few.

The downpipe is one of the harder parts believe it or not. We spent over an hour hour on that. Whoever did Dans last time must have used an impact gun on bolts that I could barely touch with my fingers, let alone a breaker bar.
