I think that falls under "getting creative" lol. Glad it worked.

The shop that serviced my transmission already said they would be ok if I brought in a eBay kit and had them install it (because I was talking tech with the owner, and wearing my "Triumph" motorcycle cap - somehow meaning I know my stuff ). I can wrench, but I also *really* don't want to screw anything up, and these guys did a really nice job for me once already.

My VX is my only vehicle other than my motorcycle, so I am a little nervous about putting it out of commission.
