Good deal on the making the Saint Louis ride. Do I need to cook you some brownies for the night ride?
I heard you are easy on parts plus the kush makes you drive slower and more cautious.

No Kel. But the way u Toss around axles, I sure could use Ya to throw this trans in my truck. I'll be at louis bound in no time!! **** TRANSMISSIONS!! My God what a nightmare. This sucks balls. Big ones. Black ones. (Piper told me about those). Man I don't even know how anyone could do this all the time. Im Thinkin I'm missing some tools to make this easier. Wata cluster fuk!!

Ive pulled quite a few solo, easiest way I found to do it, is drop the tcase(which is a job in its self since its an atlas) find a piece of 3/4 ply wood about the size of the trans pan. Jack up to the bottom of the trans, ratchet strap the **** outta it to the jack with the piece of plywood between the jack and trans pan. You might have to get creative on getting the straps/trans/jack to work together going in and out, i had to tighten the straps as I let it down and let them come loose a click at a time going up.

OR* think off all the right and wrong ways to do it, smoke reefer, re-do all the mounts, smoke reefer, re-built the transmission, smoke reefer, install everything, smoke reefer, dwell that you did not do it right, smoke reefer, take apart, smoke reefer, decide it was okay after all, smoke reefer, put all back in, smoke reefer. You are going to miss the Christmas ride

I literally laughed my ass off in public, my wife was like :wtflol:

Be sure to paint the new one so it matches your rig

kushKrawlin · Apr 30, 2015

Lookin at paint codes now. Going pearl on this bitch... But wait!!! The best part of this whole deal is...
My clutches and few more lil things were done!! YAAYYY me!! **** luck I tell Ya. Sooo, it went from 200 to swap to new case, to now gettin upgraded clutches, hardended sprag, and some other **** that I have no clue bout for a whopping 700!! Man im just so lucky. Fawk me. Coulda went with stock **** and saved a lil but when he showed me stock clutches, and how they burn up about 250°, then the better ones that are good till about 400+ I said .. "I mean why not". Ha. This blows. I think he's giving me a good deal. But **** man.. My girl prob won't understand this one either. I always let it be a surprise. Seems to work better for me that way. Ha. And don't worry. The new case will be painted and have 3 coats of clear and riding out this weekend. Hot laps around Fairfeild. Woo hooo

^^^^ This Kush, don't skimp on a Tranny Cooler.... See what happens when you slip the sh*t out of a torque convertor with too little crawl ratio for too long? With that Atlas, a good trans, & a cooler you should be good to go now :****:

kushKrawlin · May 1, 2015

Son of a bitch!! I was thinking abiut asking about Units with fans and if they were a need or just insurance. **** me. Them fukers are about 130 ish. Ok, is it stupid to even look at the 80-90 ones one ebay? ;D pretty sure I know the answer but dammit man, FAWK. I really don't wanna buy one. I'm gonna have to Fukin stop burnin if this bullshit keeps on... Woah! Lil far there, but dammit Im bout to get on a budget... Piss on it, anyways , I have told a couple folks that ask about the trans that the guy was gonna hook it up, and for some reason I always throw "he's puttin a hardended sprag in there". Bahaha. I have no Fukin clue what that is but it sounds cool as ****. Haha. Anyone know wat the hell it is/does? Had a couple folks ask and all the sudden i didn't feel so cool not knowing haha . :woot:
