Replacing the Model 18 Intermediate Shaft

he charges $80 hour

 

That sounds like a reasonable rate if he's coming to you and working outside.

 

i got an idea chuck.
you find an overdrive and buy it cheap.
sell it to me dear.
and i will pay you to install it!

while your wife gets her toenails waxed.
(or whatever it is they do in those places)
i will feed you beer and pizza and hand you tools.....

 

the regular mechs charge $70

 

he charged me 80 bones.
took 5 minutes....

 

Yes - that's great news.
Are you going give us the details of what he did?

 

x2 !!!!!

 

he told me he put the gears where they needed to be and then put the top cover of the t98 straight down.
which is hard to do because the corner of the gas tank is in the way.

 

the way i am lookin at it is
i paid my dues with the slug and get to pick my battles.
tranny's are out.
tuneups are in.atriot::monkeys:

 

so all is now well in the trans shifting world ?

 

as far as i can tell.
i know i did the spicer18 correctly.
and i know i connected it to the tranny correctly.
but havent done anything but run through the gears as of yet.
(drops to knees and prays fervently)
dear sweet lil baby jesus.
please dont take out your rage against my sinful ways on the innocent slug.
your pal
billy
amen

 

i wonder if the almighty Jeep Gods have forgiven all my sins and transmissions?

 

At least he's got his sense of humor back!!!

 

don't forget the oil before you start her up !!!!!

 

musnt tempt the gods ya know..

roger that cap'n!
