Another one down…

My truck’s been having issues with the transmission slipping out of OD and generally pour performance…

so I broke down last Friday and took it to the shop.  Monday I received a call.  They need to pull the trans to find out everything that’s broken, and ball park $2400 to rebuild.  It needs a rebuild 🙁

So the bike and the truck are MIA.

The Honda’s speed sensor is being flaky..and a new one of those is $152.  I need to go to a junk yard I thinks and get one as I hate the speedometer working 50% of the time I drive.  At least it’s running fine otherwise…

    sucks that you need to pay all of these things.

    cars are money pits, not as much as houses but a strong second.

    Yeah, cheaper to repair than replace though…

    It’s running great now that it’s back. 2 yr 24,000 mile warranty on the trans now. I couldn’t have replaced it for $4600.

    OH..and the speed sensor is replaced, eBay has them for $24. Fixed.

    Bikes shifters they put on I dislike, so I’ll go visit them tomorrow and get them replaced with better ones.
