I may just choose that option and hope that the rebuilt transmission works as well afterwards. I do not want to go back to the garage I rented since it was not a good experience..

So I may have very interesting news. I matched the timing marks on engine (OT) and the crank (The one on the engine is something like 10-11 o'clock position?) and the pinhole on the transmission also perfectly is across from the one on the flywheel. I am thinking the timing is good then? Here is an illustration of where the mark is on the engine and the photo of the bolt I used to match the hole on the flywheel..


What do you guys think?


Cheers,
