| Well, as it turns out, my employee Joe who is a former Volvo tech, has been to extensive training on ZF transmssions. He used to overhaul the same tranny that resides in LR's! I am sourcing some rebuild components, and will have him go through the trans in my RRC. If all goes well, I will be offering rebuilding services in house and via shipping as well. Keep your fingers crossed, but I am hopeful to be able to offer this service to the LR community soon. Updates to follow!

| kick, kick, kick......timing is everything. Speaking from past experience, it'll be great to have a local shop be able to rebuild them, especially if he can swap in the tougher ZF24 parts as some people like. |

| I found a source for complete rebuild kits, bearings, seals, and clutches. Hopefully we'll get started on it next week sometime.  Scott |

| I think I have my kit of seals, gaskets and thingies that I never used, if you end up messing something up and have to take the case apart (ehh hemm...) |

| Is that a jab? Or personal experience talking? |

| The transmission is on the ground. The disassembly and hopefully reassembly occurs tomorrow. I am hopeful that the lift will arrive before Friday, but we'll wait and see. If it does, I'll make the trip in it for sure. Fingers crossed. Scott |

| DAMN IT!! why didn't I take a picture!!
I saw it! It is real!!
ok, it's a really dirty transmission, but I did see it before it got operated on.
I also heard the song Craklin' Rose today but that's just a lame attempt to hijack this thread |

| Eureeka! Forward clutch pack number one has welded itself to the drum! Shines a little light on why it locked up when manually ahifted into 1st. I have new heavy duty clutches in the master kit, and a new drum ordered for tomorrow. The rest of the trans looks clean as a whistle, case in good shape. Looks promising! Here's a few more shots. Clutch/drum assemblies visible with valve body removed, front pump and first drum assembly removed, and a shot of the welded drum and clutches. Scott |

| You have about 24 hours before you have to be on the road. Do you think you'll make it?
Did the lift come in? It's like a Rover edition of Overhaulin' or something.

| I am "hopeful" The 60" plasma may not be wired in yet, and I'm sure the snakeskin paint job won't have cured yet though. |

I think you are thinking of "Pimp My Ride". Chip Foose does Overhaulin' and his vehicles are clean, simple, and utterly amazing.
