Got a 04 Impala in the shop, wont move on it'* own. I dropped the transmission pan. Ya, I think I'm going to stop right here and wait for the customer to tell me what he wants to do.

Oh boy that looks like fun

That'* where I stopped. I don't think it'* worth the effort. The car is in really bad shape.

Dan, some of us are trying to eat over here! Can't you move this to the Red Light District?

Just throw a little mechanic in a can in that bad boy and call it a day...

I think I would need to fill it with mechanic in a can, and even then it wont work. He said move forward with the rebuild. Going to be interesting to see what I find. My guess, the torque converter, oil pump shaft, and input shaft are stripped.

At that point, don't you have to consider the cost of rebuilding against the cost of a new/used with/without a warranty?

I ran both past him, he wants it rebuilt. Fix it so he can sell it. It'* worth scrap to me. I looked it over just in case he wanted to part it out. Not one panel on that car is without a dent.

Here'* another picture of the pan.

This was out of a 2004?? I have a feeling he must have starred in this video...
