Davis Glad to hear you are feeling better! Watch those PERKs as they grow on you. Congrats on the wife ,from the sound of things it sounds like she is important to you.Just remember they take as much attention as a Gremlin.lol I have had the same one for over 40 years[the wife not the car] and have been reminded of that often!!! Just a thought and sorry to all the honest shop owners but have you ever been to a transmission shop with a transmission problem [no matter how small] that the transmission didnt need a total rebuild? I bet that reverse would have worked fine with the new seal and a fluid change. Like I said SORRY to all the honest shops!Hope you continue to improve and good luck with the insurance . Rick

Ralph,Thanks. I am still very sore but I am recovering. Still using the percs. I talked to the Wife and she agreed to let me fix up the hornet with the settlement money I can also use some of the money ( if I get enough) to buy the coil overs I need to fix my gremlin. I have to pay bills first though.Monday I will start working in the garage agin if I am recovered.Davis

I'm glad your son is OK. My wife went through the whip lash about two
years ago and is now as good as she can get under the circumstances.
I hope you get better and don't have any permanent effects. I'm sorry
that you had your Hornet get smashed by the ricer. I second Joe on
being in a solid car!!! Glad to hear that you and your wife are back
together, as that is definitely a plus and less stress on you.
Ralph in MN
