I'm no transmission specialist or ASE anything but I am certified as a fluid power specialist and have about 20 years experience in automated fluid power systems. Been around a few solenoid valves. I felt he was trying to ram sunshine up my arse. Long story short, POS made a huge WHACK this afternoon and she's stuck in like 4th or 5th gear. Still under bumper to bumper so the tow truck is headed over in the morning and I'm looking at a service loaner. They said the transmission dude is pretty backed up so it might be a "while" before they get to mine. That buyer's remorse is kickin' in hard now boys!!!
And when it does finally come home, the dealership will call and email you begging for 10's on their little survey. Even though they treat everyone like dummies. Fingers crossed it gets fixed correctly.

Exhaust on the '67 looks great! I like how you routed it out back. Seeing yours sitting pretty made me want to go out to the garage and take the cover off CRLS and give it a hug.
