ok, so I'm going to take my 95 e320 over to "Creeds Transmission". I'm going to give him $2000 to completely rebuild the transmission.
I put a used transmission in it and it lost reverse in 5 starts.
I could do it again as there is a wrecked 95 e320 in welcome, nc for $1000.
I just don't think I can emotionally handle another gazzillion hours (less obviously after what amounted to 3 removals and installs of the 722.369).
Creed rebuilt the tranny in my 04 odyssey at 250k miles and its awesome.
I know I could buy another working e320 for what I'm paying to rebuild this tranny. But I already did the evaporator and the SLS on this wagon and I know it from soup to nuts.
Just wanted to run this by everyone. Not wearing a flame suit so I may start crying like a little girl.
