I wasn't supposed to get this far today, but I did. The trans disassembly and reassembly isn't an impossible task, but I will say it takes a helluva lot of time to tear one apart and reassemble. I see why performance shops have a backorder. This is a good bit of work. It may be some time before I get to finish this. I'm tired of looking at it, but I'll post up what I find.

Litreddevil (Randy) is working in Chenneye, wy. So im sure he is pretty busy..
Man i told you to send me that converter... i had to end up shooting stupid paper targets again.. It is nice to hear a bullet sound off when it hits the target.
BTW... DO NOT SEND THE CONVTER BACK TO PTC!!!!! Get a yank or somthing man... ive had trouble with 7 of 7 PTC converters.... wonder why i told you that in the first place...
Can you describe the color of the "Stuff" in the bottom of that pan?? Did you see any thing close to the same color as brass? or goldish shiny stuff?
