Initial inspection of A500

If you have a lift and a trans jack and all the air tools, then dropping your trans after a few months will be a real pleasure. Then you can find out that it's about as complicated inside as a carburetor. Actually, just refurbishing the front guts is simpler than a carb. "When there isn't enough time to do it right; there's always enough time to do it twice." Why anyone would trust flimsy 904 guts is beyond me; when it's twice as easy to check it out than to tear the thing all back out again. You've got a lot of different types of debris in that pan and filter. No way I would trust that trans. I hope I'm wrong.
