  June 2001

I now have about 5,000 Km on the transmission that I rebuilt. So far all is perfect. No leaks or even sweats. The transmission has never shifted better. (more) 		 
 

May 2001

After 59,000 Km on my $1,200 transmission rebuild to replace a worn out differential bearing, it was leaking again. The driver's side CV had too much play due to the bearing being worn out and that caused the leak. 

This time I decided to fix it right, and do it myself. I have removed transmissions before to replace a clutch, but I have never split the transmission case. Here is what happened.

Also, you will find our first and finest movie, Maximum Maxima Melt, where I do the *BEST* burn out that I have ever seen on video. (Never mind for a 4 door sedan!)
