I have had a great AMC day thus far. I went back to the junkyard this morning to see about pulling the T5 transmission (and especially the bellhousing) from a 1983 Eagle wagon. We have had rain here and the car was on stands right over a huge puddle. So I asked Mario the yard manager if the yard mechanics could pull the transmission before they crushed the car in a week or two (since I would have to work in the mud.) He said sure, and we put "tranny sold" on the window with grease pen. Then a few minutes later Mario came up to me and said why don't we pull it right now, to prevent a screwup later. (The yard had crushed a whole Eagle wagon a few months ago without even putting it out for parts, after I had requested parts from it.) So they retreived the wagon with a forklift and pulled the tranny and bellhousing for me while I waited. I'll go back tomorrow or Christmas Eve and pull the hydraulic clutch pieces. I didn't have the right tools today. After I paid Mario (and was happy as a pig in doodoo) Mario presented me a bottle of red wine and a company calendar and wished me a Merry Christmas. This is a great old-time style junkyard with real friendly people and the parts prices are very reasonable. I can't help but think that they won't be around much longer if an Eco Freak gets on their case. Unpaved junkyards are going to be a distant memory here in CA. But for now, I'm still smilin'.
