blew $50 bucks today on a new 4X4 tranny pan & tranny fluid..
came out of a parking lot & crushed the pan. AARGH!

pics to follow..

 

Easier to swap than a tranny... could be worse.

This should make you feel better.
I reinstalled my motor after waiting 4 months for the engine builder and hard to get valve springs ect,only to have my freshly completely rebuilt m112 leak blower oil all over my brand new looking motor and my polished blower.
Now i get to go out to my garage and remove the snout and send it back across the country....weeeeeee and wait some more.

On a more positive note my 00 is much quicker with the rebuild and head porting in 83 degree humid weather then it was in 60 degree fall air last year.

 

Damn dude.You're having my kinda life.

 

Brooks did you ever get those bassanis installed...i hear they went up in value

I wonder what's worse?
What happened to you or having to change the pan(s) 3 times in one weekend and taste the fluid once while doing it?

Of course, I'm assuming that the only damage you got is only the pan.

Hopefully, that's all that happened.
