Putter Swap
Is it safe to say we should just flush yesterday down the toilet?
I’m thinking we should. Let me tell you about yesterday:
I went to go to the bank to make a deposit, then on the way home the transmission went out in my van. I puttered all the way home at 5mph or less, while cars behind me honked and cut around me.
When I got home, I called the transmission shop (since a tranny is the only thing I can’t work on) and the repairman told me my car isn’t worth repairing.
I called another shop, and that guy will told me he cannot quote me a price until he has removed the transmission from the vehicle to inspect it…which will cost me $175 labor.
I told him he was a phallus, and he hung up on me.
Welcome to my world. So…does anyone here know how hard it is to swap out an A413 transmission on a Chrysler K-car? Maybe I can find a rebuilt one somewhere and put it in myself. I’m no stranger to car repairs. I can easily swap CV axles, replace motor mounts, and overhaul a simple engine while it’s still in the vehicle.
( To the tune of “Yesterday,”by the Beatles)
♫Yesterday, all my troubles were too hard to take. I felt my head was going to break. Oh, I just hated yesterday.
Suddenly, my old car is falling apart on me. The transmission is too old ,you see. Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
Why, I said that word,I don’t know. It was so bad. No wonder that guy hung up on me, now my car’s still broken and I’m so sa a a ad.
Yesterday, my car broke down and I was asked to pay and pay. This wasn’t such a groovy day. Oh, let’s just flush that day away.
Mmm mmmm mmm mmmm yesterday.♫
