Thanks Jooseppi! We just took him to dinner, my wife drove s there, she really loves the way our a Mercedes handles (tge steering is exactly what she wants in a car). The seats were redone and are thicker and taller, since she is over a foot shorter than me, this car fits her much better. She also likes how the turbo blooms around 2k rpm. Funny thing, it really wasn't working all that great before I replaced the trans, dunno why.

Yeah, we all probably set out to do a really nice documentation of our projects, taking careful notes and making photos. Then we get tired, our hands get oily, things start breaking and getting stuck. Picking up the camera phone becomes more of a drag. Maybe there's someone out there who only photographs the end of a transmission replacement, then we could put all the photos together and have a good story ;-)
