DONE.

old gearbox is back in the car, and i have all 5 gears working. power steering is still pissing all over the place, but that's about to become the dealership's problem. small potatoes!

the rogue tranny's return has been worked out and i'll never have to see it again.

*enormous thanks* to chris and andrea, again, for gladly allowing a bunch of filthy-person traffic through their garage and house for 2 weekends, and for sheltering steve all week long.

and to iggdawg, for busting his ass both weekends. and to james, for coming by after a long day of work to lend a hand. and to rabbitnutz, for risking the life of the GTI just to come help.

and to kz, for his support, awesome tools, incredible gearbox know-how, and making me believe this was possible.
