Now on to other fun stuff. Tax refund check on the way? Check. Mortgage finally paid off this month also? Check.
At 130k service a couple weeks ago mechanic noted some metal particles on magnetic plug in tranny. When replacing clutch cable and replacing fluid just a couple hundred miles later. Fluid clear but still metal. Mechanics believe it is bearings in tranny getting ready to go. I will probably give it to them in next couple weeks to pull tranny and investigate. Probably new gears also (hey, 130k on HD tranny sounds pretty good). Not like that money was going to be doing much in bank anyways. Rebuilding tranny seems like a good investment to me.
