It has been my full time job being in the unemployment Union from last March 31st.

I just don't like the setbacks like taking apart the tranny to rebuild it and finding it is broke in the low gear cluster, Got another TH350C trans yesterday, this one is from a truck with electric overdrive switch optional.

Starting to see more light at the end of the tunnel.
