The tranny is a pain in the a$$ take your time if you rush the tranny build section you will have problems. I know that for a fact I have had 3 hilifts and 1 hilux.

Thanks for the heads up on the tranny!

I to have things eating through money right now... mostly Xmas related credit card debt.... and the new kitchen table my wife bought.

My real problem is that my wifes Jeep was wrecked a few weeks ago and she can't work right now. Then they decided to total the Jeep so now we have to go car shopping:(
 
The table is set and i should get started tomorrow!

I started on the tranny before I went to bed last night, got the internals done. After Chips comments I thought it would be a lot worst but it was fairly easy and very cool...Best tranny I have ever worked on!
