Seriously though. For what it'* worth though, in my uneducated opinion... I think it can be done. Just take your time, be insanely clean, be totally organized, don't do anything cheap/stupid, and you should be okay. As the man said, it IS just a machine. There'* no magic, no voodoo, no curse for whoever dares to venture beyond pan and filter removal.

Remember though, when you post pictures of your tranny all apart, I want to see all of the parts neatly lined up on a spotlessly clean surface. If you're in the picture, I want to see you in scrubs, booties, gloves, and a hair net. Buy a few shower curtains to hang up all around the area, to keep out dust and dirt. Make a makeshift airlock out of the same. It'll be fun.

I'm just saying that I saw the pictures of his garage, and I hope he can create a better environment for the tranny project. Sorry to have ruffled your feathers...

Can't we all just get along?
