Hi Dave,
Made the trip back to Crazy Horse this AM. Turns out Chris couldn't work on Contours. Too focused on Mustangs and has a backlog of work that will keep him busy for 6 weeks. However, he did refer me over to IMP in Clifton (Joe Cassella).
While I was figuring out what to do, I decided to check around at Fullerton Ford and Oasis Ford to see what it would cost to get the tranny replaced. Oasis wanted $1600 plus labor, and Fullerton wanted $2700 installed (*gulp*). No thank you.
Made arrangements with IMP, had AAA haul the Tour to Clifton, and there she sits. IMP is going to pull out the tranny and ship it to Terry Haines in MI. Terry will rebuild it, and I'm going to figure out what else I want to do while the car in on the operating table. Funds are tight, but it makes sense to do the clutch now. Not sure I can swing the Quaife as much as I want to. Too many expenses to deal with right now (it is tax season after all).
Will keep you posted on how things work out. Thanks again for the help on Saturday.
Jim
