Haven't updated in awhile.

Car started and idled fine up to temp. Then brake fluid started to leak between the bellhousing and motor. FML.

So it sat for a week while we started to pull the trans out.

Harbor freight sells quality ones for like $69 or something. but i was being cheap cause I dumped enough money into this beast. I used it to hold for about 10 minutes while I moved the subframe out, then I put a jack + wood under the oil pan.

Some of their stuff is actually pretty damn good, other things not so much. Then some things need a little adjustments to make it work right (thats what happened with my walnut blast gun, had to drill out the media feed hole
