I finallly am getting the darn transmission fixed on the Subaru. I have been dealing with the fact that it doesn’t go into drive too easily for nearly 4 years now. It was getting worse and on Tuesday while already in drive it pulled its shenigans. While I had no problem being stranded by my trannie in a parking lot, totally unacceptable to be stranded on the road at a stop light. I was able to shift my weight (knew obesity had its good points) forward and get it back in gear. I finally bit the bullet and took it in last night. I also knew it was time when I would see other people go right into drive with their cars and think wistfully, wow what a concept.
To rebuild the trannie it was going to cost $4,500. Fortunately it doesn’t look I need to have that happen. With the $2,200 however, it looks like it will be basically rebuild so what a deal! 😉
They also found a lot of other things wrong with the car unrealated to the trannie, probably another $1500 worth of goodies. None of those seems critical being centered with oil seals and such. I am not losing oil, we will keep an eye on it.
I had to drag RAW and Hollace out of bed an hour early to get me to work this morning. I had a client who was suppose to have a critical change for their time sensitive website first thing in the morning. RAW gets me to work and I quickly realized once in the building that I didn’t have my keys so I couldn’t get in the office. I emptied my purse in the hall looking for those keys and was surprised to see one lone spare key for the office in there. Totally bizarre and perfect.
As for that time sensitive change? I am still waiting for it and it and lunch is almost over.
