Amen Tom. I told Tom that Jon is officially St. Jon in our house. The poor guy thought he could rest after a long night of working last night until I called. I also got a help from the shipping company that discounted their rate by 75% after asking me why we are shipping a transmission. Traci at Redday is also someone we are in debt to for that kind act.
I asked the head guy at the shop what happened. He said the clutch plates were bad and it over heated. He said it was a tired old transmission. It will arrive at their shop Thursday and will be installed (I hope) and ready by Friday so that we can stay on schedule with coming home. We will drive the jeep and coach to Billings separate to make sure everything is ok before we try towing again.
