650 bucks ...that is a rip off...but I am glad it's over for you and hope it stays this way. Have a safe and happy vacation. (With all the gas prices, don't you wish for this much money, they had converted this into a hydro-car! )

A big difference in part availability and time. So the mechanic must have taken a few smoke brakes during his day.

I think it took me 5 hours to pull the tranny and this guy spent that on a plenum gasket.

Most importantly of all, the wife is happy to have a car for our vacation tomorrow.

thanks
