Well....Had to get towed AGAIN.

The video pretty much sums it up. Just put in a junkyard tranny and there were no leaks. Went to go drive it to a doctors visit for a sinus infection 2 weeks ago and the power steering pump went. So i got it towed 2 weeks ago. And then yesterday after driving it all day. I get about 13 miles from home and it lost forward movement. Coasted to the side of the road and called a tow truck (again). Looked at it today and this is what I found.





I mean really its not that hard to pull the pan. AND you need to change the filter when you change the fluid so you have to drop the pan anyways! It didnt even come across my mind that it would blow out like that. Guess I need to install a REAL drain plug for a grand total of $6.99. A new pan is about $30 and its for a chrome one. *shakes his head* I mean I know I dont always fix everything 100%, but really? really? They couldnt spend the $7 for a real drain plug, Off to the parts store I go tonight. Hope that I didnt break any gears. And $54 for 12 quarts of transmission fluid? at the auto parts store? I can buy it by the case (12qt) for $23.99 at Sam's Club. Just grinds my gears!



*sigh*
