A long time ago a Freeper lamented how his wife dared to complained when he rebuilt an automatic transmission in the bath tub. I think it was you.

I can't take credit for that. Although I did disassemble a manual transmission in the garage and made a mess. Never did fix the problem with a gear that failed. I ended up buying a car with a blown engine for $100, pulled the drivetrain, and sold the carcass for more than I paid for the car. That got me a replacement trans for the original car with a bad trans. Pushed the engine in a corner of the garage and rebuilt it 15 years later, all it had was a blown timing chain. I still have the blown trans parts in a box somewhere (need to get rid of it... someday).
