Well my transmission went out on me just before this whole virus thing got crazy so I cleared off workbench of all reloading equipment. Lined the bench with 1" partial board and several layers of cardboard and started rebuilding my first transmission ever.
Well I finally got the transmission finished yesterday and Im itching to reload. But the transmission is 500+ lbs. Lol. They actually say it's one of the heaviest auto trans out there and I believe it. One gear set had to be well over 80#s. Been tempted to muscle it off the bench myself and I'm sure I can do it at least once but I probably won't be moving well enough afterwards to reload
Anyways my kids are coming back tomorrow and my oldest is helping put the transmission back into the car and hopefully by this weekend I will be able to spend my time reloading and shooting instead of working on cars, sleeping and TV. The week before all this I rebuilt the motor in my son's Subaru Forester.
Lesson learned from all this. Need to build another workbench for car work lol.
