Yay! :) so happy to hear that said...my shifting has been a little rough and
at 125k i was starting to wonder if the BIIIIG bills were just around the
corner...who can say with a trannie, but i was surprised to hear him say you
can't adjust the bands in them any more, they're self adjusting, all you can
do is drain it and refill it...does that sound right to you?

oh, ok I'll try that...apparently swearing like a longshoreman doesn't
actually loosen them any either (I tried that a lot last saturday, but
nothing budged). so when you say hit em with a hammer, do you mean sqare on
the lug or do you mean on the sides of the lugs or do you mean putting  the
wrench on and whacking the wrench with a hammer?

> Hope this helps.

It does! Thanks man!
Tom.
