    After almost 4 months of the Mav sitting up on stands I will attempt to reinstall the freshly rebuilt transmission this weekend. I told the shop I wanted a little firmer shift but now driveshaft rattling shifts. I can't wait to get it back on th road. The only obsticles i think I will have are the exhaust manifold studs, and nuts, and getting the Y-pipe back in place. Lets hope everything else works out....

    Flushing the cooler lines, and getting the new nuts for the manifold studs are the only things I have left to do. Other than go pick the transmission up from the shop when it gets done tomorrow.
