Trans install

The car is finally at the shop, just in time too, as we are headed into a christmas snowstorm. The window motor is acting up so Brent will look at that in addition to installing the new transmission, new tie-rod ends, an electric cooling fan and a new coolant level sensor.

Maybe if its warm enough

I'll take the car down to the mechanic today. Forecast calls for +50F, almost a heat-wave in these parts.

GT5 Delayed again

Finally the transmission

I finally found a low mile used transmission on Ebay. It comes from a large BMW specialist in Ohio and is claimed to only have 22k miles. I'm shipping it directly to Castle Rock Imports and will get it installed in the next couple of weeks.
