"Forward Sprag"
« on: September 02 2009, 06:54:51 PM »
So, is this a real transmission part? I'm into the local shop for $1200 to fix my tranny (post-op) and am none too pleased. I've been trapped in my house for over a week without a truck and have been watching WAY too many game shows. I was on the highway a few days back and got wheelhop in the Avalanche at 65 mph five seconds before I discover that I've got no 3rd or Drive. Any other problem and I'd try to fix it myself, but there's nothing but fluid and magic inside transmissions (very similar to S6's guest bedroom) so I wouldn't dare attempt it myself. $400 in parts and $800 for 9 hours labor. God really hates me, but what he doesn't know is that I just spit on his toothbrush.

If you had given them 1500 up front, you would have had it that afternoon.

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

last I heard, Forward Sprag was a new metal band of former Jesus Freaks hoping to front for Rumplestein.
