That was an expensive job but it took a lot of time.
Jake recommended this shop based on I believe your past history and good results so thank you for that ! Jim's a good guy just like Jake, we are fortunate to have both of them in our backyards.

Jim did a great job on both smshirk's tranny as well as this one.. I was impressed with the positive engagement and ease of shifting.

so far my neck surgery seems to have worked. I have a right arm again. I'm not supposed to be driving until after 3/19 when I go back to doc, but i couldn't help myself. No problem at all driving and once i finish PT I think I'll have complete range of motion back. I can raise the arm almost 180 before any PT at all. When I shut either door on my Boxster the Fabspeed pings like a banjo string, only with the car turned off. Doc says its not the neck or the arm! What could it be? Can't be heard with car running, even with the LW flywheel in a box for now.
