Heh. Sorry I forgot about you guys. I did eventually get my car back on the road on the 11th (Sunday). I managed to file down the threads and got the bearings back on, although they'll still need to be replaced at some point in the future, but they're fine for now. I just got so excited that I completely forgot to let you know. She's been running great the past two weeks and I'm certain she'll last for several thousand more miles. By the way, it was around 6 p.m. or so when all the wrench work was done, and many places were already closed (or not even open, it was a Sunday after all) and the only oil I had available for the transmission was some regular ol' Quaker State 10w30. But, from what I've heard and read, I think I'll be getting some Honda MTF sometime here in the near future and put some of that in instead.
Thanks again to everyone and I'll talk to you again when I have more questions or need assistance. (Which hopefully won't be for a long while...)
