Not an upgrade, just replacing a stock unit with another stock unit. The car is a '03 Buick Park Avenue with 172k miles. But i still owe one full and a partial payment.. After this i am hoping to drive it to at least 225k miles.

I think you can do 400k,  you seem very mechanically / tech savvy..

The only people whose cars die at 200 are the ones who've never heard of fuel injector cleaner..

Sucks man, I just had mine replaced about two weeks ago.  I don't have the time, knowledge, or experience to replace a transmission much less one for a Honda but good luck with it!

Good luck! Are you doing it on your own?

A cherry picker in the UK is one of these:



So I'm guessing you haven't got one of these to help! Have you just got an engine hoist like this?:

Can we get them to build the Alps ten feet higher and get Cherry to pay for it?

I have one, a friend let me borrow his dads while he is currently out of state for the winter.  He only uses it for his generator and the fifth wheel hitch for the camper.  Plus have a couple friends that said they would help me.  Plus, I have to be out of state on Monday for work.  That is going to be a 4 hour drive.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
