I was a new mechanic at a local Volvo dealership about 15 years or so ago, no experience at all anywhere other than my own shop at home. About 3 months into this gig, I get my first front wheel drive tranny r&r. I struggled for several hours trying to get this thing out. I had never really dealt with the large number of wires, sensors, etc on these computer cars. I pack up for the day thinking I had it made in the morning, button up the subframe, reinstall strut assembly, etc.

IT ABSOLUTELY SUCKED when I walked and unlocked my toolbox, to find the flywheel laying under the jacket I had thrown in the top of my tool box earlier the day before. Needless to say, I was ridden like a donkey for days to come for that.

Rudy, THAT sucks man.....never liked working on them front drivers. Everything is so darn small and tight my hands get all cramped up !

I hate the damn things, I haven't worked on one in many years!! Nothing but rear wheel drives for me!!

:oops: :oops: I will make this short and sweet, Always double check everything when installing a new race engine, I installed a race engine, was dying to hear it run, fired it up, felt something wet and warm on my feet, oops forgot to install oil lines, shut off before damage to engine, just ran a few second's, had a oil heater. :oops: :oops:

Anybody ever left out that little NPT plug above the oil filter mount? I have. :oops: Same results as the post above.
