[s-cars] What's that smell?

[Gabriel Caldwell]

I know that tale all too well.  Up until last night my 90 was missing
its head, suspension and transmission.  I have the transmission back in
finally.  Started at 7:30pm and had it in by midnight.  Not bad for
running out of jack travel an inch and half too soon.  :(

Depending on how much time you have available; I would also recommend
what Dave is suggesting and have someone else do the work.  Having had
my car now out of commission for almost a year, I am beginning to think
that maybe I should have kept scope to replacing only the clutch.  ;)

It's all the other great ideas for what you need to do to your car that
kills you(while you are replacing the clutch, you might as well...).
Can you say scope creep!
