By shizzle he means he has no more time to be lazy...but he did have the time to do this...but then he was lazy...now he doesnt have the time to do the swap and its killing me to see the MINI outside with "IN TOW" written on the rear window...

I wish I had the problem of having the transmission and parts, but not the time to install it...my problem is the opposite. I could easily make the time to do this...but the money to buy all the parts...thats a problem!
