Glad everything worked out man, I know you missed your car! When Lexus had my car for about a month, I had a brand new 03 ES300, and all I wanted was my 1996 GS300 back!!! lol

Didnt seem like it was too bad. Once it was out the car it seemed like it took him 20 minutes to get it all taken apart.


Update:
For everyone who dosent know there was another hold up but basically my planetary gear set was all kinds of messed up due to a few overlooks on prior work and its being replaced as well as a few rings and the bushings were already changed out and I should have her back Monday. I'm a little upset with some of the other things that he found but its all good. Got a few other things to work out with some people but looks like she'll be alright. If this experience has taught me anything its always check behind people if you get ur ride worked on. I guess thats another reason I like doing my own work but hey what can u do.

FINAL UPDATE:

Ok I got the ES back Last week and it drives 1000% times smoother. I cant even feel it shift. Rob did great work on it and he look out for me big time. He even took the time to fix a few other things that needed his attention. I definitely recommend him for any transmission work. The price was pretty good considering the work that was done. He could have got me for a lot more money if he really wanted but he was cool. I ended up shelling out roughly $2500 for all the parts and labor. But I'd like to thank Kwame again for giving me the contact and all my other NELOC Family for the kind words and advice.
