Luck my friend. You'll be fine. Doesn't get much simpler than that...And I love the feeling of satisfaction of knowing that I have done it myself...

Ok... pipes have to wait until Thursday. Found out that I was missing a part. Having it expressed shipped.
They were not new pipes - was given to me, and they didn't give me the transmission plate or the nut plate. Not going to complain about paying 50.00 for parts and shipping.


Have the TFI almost done. Thanks to George from Techlusion - He ROCKS!!
Once I understood what I was doing it was a breeze!!!
