When I pull the tranny and transfer to rebuild them I will. I might add that the bandaid works quite well thank you. I do not see a downside to the bypass hose. A little more work - that's very humerous. Maybe you have a nice shop you can pull your vehicle in to work on. I can not clear the garage door much less jack the vehicle up, so all in vehicle work for the last 23 years has been done in the driveway which is paved with rock. At almost 62, I'm inclined to take the path of least resistance when on my back getting rock bruises.
