I feel you! 3 f'ing days a pick n pull to get the stupid tranny out of a car. 7 vw jettas in the yard only ONE with the right combo of tranny and engine. So I had to be gentle with it. :-( I'm not in the business of being gentle....... Brought in my gas powered chop saw. They wouldn't let me bring it in the yard. It faught Cody and I every step of the way.
