Ah... just got the car back this afternoon. Rebuilt transmission, new clutch, updated shift linkage... the car drives like a dream. Finger-tip shifting. Now it feels like I'm driving a SAAB again, rather than a pick-up truck.
I got a good deal on labor because I found an AAMCO transmission shop that's affiliated with a high-end European car repair shop (weird combo, huh?) So the transmission, clutch and shifter work was done by good Euro-familiar mechanics but at AAMCO's lower labor rates ($50/hr vs. $70/hr.) Plus, the head mechanic kept bragging that the parts were cheap because of "the national buying power of AAMCO." I don't know about that. Charging me $2000 for the job seems like robbery but you all seem to think it's a good deal. OK, I'll try to take some pleasure in that. At least until my rent is due.
Man, it's good to have reverse gear back.
