The way I'm looking at it, in order to finish this job I'm just going to have to set aside like 2 hours a week and tackle the project and inspect the trans. It seems like that will be the cheapest route where I get the most experience without getting too tired out or too frustrated and working around my busy schedule. I'm tired of sending the car to a shop and spending the money. It's going to take a long time and I probably won't make it to a lot of car shows, but it is what it is.
