OK, gotta vent

So I am changing my transmission fluid and filter today. I must admit this is one of my least favorite jobs. Just because I don't have a lift and it's a tight (and messy) fit under there. I drain the pan, then the converter, drop the pan and switch the filter out. Then I clean and inspect the pan for shavings. Everything looks good. I go to put the new gasket on and it is the wrong one!!!

Man!!! Of course my wife is gone at work again, so here I sit. My car is up on ramps and I can't go anywhere. This is the 3rd night in a row I have been stuck without a car (see the broken bolt thread). I have so much to do, and now I have to wait until tomorrow to finish this damn job.

I know people are human and they make mistakes, but this really ticks me off. So Ken Garff Mercedes you can kiss my A** for giving me the wrong gasket!

Thanks for letting me share.
