What would you do? (long)

[kervinridgley@earthlink.net (Kervin)]

There was not a hole in it the tranny when it came out of my car.  I
think he will be cool with the whole thing, I'll talk with him today. 
This is one of the times I realize how time poor I am.  The guy has no
car to get to work with.  The only time I have to help him get a tranny
is today before noon or Wednesday.  The pick-n-pull is 40 minutes away
and opens at 9am.  I'm going to try to get it all done this morning, but
we'll see.  Thanks for all the replies.
