Because of school and work only Sundays work for me. Except the 17th. I have to play army that weekend. And if I am able to make it, my girlfriend will probably want to tag along if that's okay?


If anyone wants to drop a transmission, let me know! haha

I would think the 24th (most of us would have off on Monday anyway) would be the better date

Holidays typically never work for me; always visiting family in NY during that time.

I was kidding more than anything else. When I lived in NC I had access to a lift and have replaced the flywheel/clutch on a few 8s to include my own down there. No longer have access to one so I've been putting off doing it on jack stands lol.

I had a strong suspicious that a 3 day weekend a month away would have more people not available for it

I have a wedding in Louisiana on the 16th.
I can't drive more than 8 or 9 hours anymore. I usually stop in Greenwood Ms. on the way down, & Cape Girardeau near the Bootheel on the way back.

I was talking to Sonic last weekend about this day as a good option. Sundays are prob the best for May for me for a variety of reasons. This Sunday is nice because a lot of people are off on Monday.

The way it looks is may 31st is clear for all, am I wrong?

On a side note, with the amount of knowledge and experience there if a Trans can't be done quickly and correctly somethings wrong..

I did my last clutch replacement on my 8 in about 4 hours, start to finish.

All 3 times I pulled the transmission it was on jack stands and freezing cold.
