Flex disk and tranny fluid

Last day of the year.
Draind ATF, pulled pan, drain Torque Converter. Cleaned pan and installed new gasket.Installed Mobil 1 Syn.
Then remover Drive shaft. Didn't mess with E-Brake cable or dropping muffler.
Replaced center bearing & support that was all out of round,then had to use chatter gun {impact hammer} to remove rear bushing. Replaced dust cover, bushing. Reinstalled with new flex disk front and rear. They were also cracked. Not major but cracked anyway.
Adjusted e-brake tighter, grease all four CV joints.
Took off all four jack stands.
Test drove and recheck fluid. And topped off.
I know there are some that say"if it ain't broke don't fix it" my saying is fix it or get some nice "Hush Puppys shoes" and spare money for tow truck.
With all this I may have spent $150. Heck a tow would be half of that. Not to speak of what else it mess up.
Take care of you ass it bear you, instead of someone kicking it.
Thanks to this board for all the information. Compared to Haynes or factory manual no comparison! With out you'll holding my hand this would have been hell.
Have a great New Year.
Charlie
