The transmission is on its way. Just got a note from the company in Boise that Jon found to separate it that the shipper just drove away with it. I guess the separation was not easy. In spite of cutting the crank shaft it was still tough to get the engine to turn but they eventually prevailed and I think the price was reasonable and the best Jon and I had been quoted.
I spoke to the garage in Belgrade, Montana. Mitchell is the head guy and he said that he did not want me to buy a ticket to fly out until they had it in and could drive it enough to make sure that I will not have any issues getting home. Can't argue with that logic so I would imagine I will be out there then the end of this month sometime.
