Well, I finally done it. The 89 has had some tranny problems for a while now and the weather was nice the other day so it's outta there. Actually, I pulled it so I can bite off a really big bullet and rebuild the thing. Wish me luck. I debated on the rebuild kit and decided to give Hanlon a call. The lady who answered the phone is one sharp piece of work. I almost asked her to accompany the kit to do the work. Anyway, the video promises to tell me everything there is to know about a T-5 so time will tell.

As a side note, I bought a 20 gallon parts washer and I was hoping someone could point me toward a good degreaser (non hydrocarbon based). I have what amounts to driveway degreaser in it and it doesn't really work that well. Is there anything I can get locally that works?
Thanks for the help.
