He’s been working on it without me (which pisses me off, but whatever) and all I know is that he’s done a bunch of shit, it’s running a hell of a lot better now and shifting fine, it’s just pausing and then throwing into 1st gear.

And… I know my car. If I get up there, turn it on and drive it up the block and it doesn’t feel/sound right, I turn around and drop it back off or bring it somewhere so someone else can look at it.

((Could it be the shift kit?? That’s the only thing I haven’t heard him talk about checking and it seems like that would have been a logical place to start))
