OK, let's break it down Barney style...
IF:
a) you have no access to simple hand tools (doesn't take many to drop a trans)
AND
b) you don't have either the patience or knowledge to use those simple hand tools
AND
c) you don't have excess cash with which to pay someone to do the work for you
THEN YOU FIGHT EVERY URGE IN YOUR BODY AND LEAVE THE DAMN THING STOCK.
I work for a living too, at least 60 hrs a week. I'm also a full time student. I also do all the work on my cars. And yes, "cars" as in more than one, as in if one craps out, I still get to work instead of trying to drive a broken car and making things worse.
Your a better man than me, if I let a $30 throwout bearing cost me $1700, I sure as hell wouldn't tell anyone.
