Cut out the exploded muffler and welded in a replacement. It is a DynoMax 17748 that has been recommended in a few threads on here. Welding on your back with little access is a real pain. It's hard to get a good bead with slag raining down on your neck and running down your shirt.
On a side note, has anybody wrapped their muffler with heat shield? It gets so hot under there that one of the body mount hole caps completely melted.

How in hell did you get the top? Nice work.
 
Finally got around to doing the 'soft drain/fill' of the transmission. Just let out the ~3 quarts that come out when removing the drain plug, and refilled. I'll probably do this a couple of more times to get some more fresh fluid in there. No sexy pics this time, was a pretty straight-forward job, especially since I didn't strip anything, and just replaced the plug with a new one.

Also helps to have a really skinny funnel, and a gallon container to see how much fluid you get out, so you know how much to put back in without constantly having to fill/check/fill/check/etc.

Also greased the u-joints while I was down there.
