I go along with this message. My wife is a small town girl, used to get ticked at all those slow farmers hogging the road. Married her 4 years ago, now we drive down the road & she comments on the neighbor's crops, and did most of my heavy tillage last fall. I suspect that a few clutches will need to be rebuilt a little bit earlier, and I've use a welder a bit on things like the harrow she kept pulling after one hook unhooked.... And so on. You know, about like me when dad showed me how to do stuff, and I put a little extra stress on the equipment.... ;) Now, some folks just have no mechanical interest whatsoever. If your wife is like that, then write down what you want done, & have her take that written order in with the service call. Always ask for the 'old' parts. That would be the only way to handle that. I know a few guys that would have done worse than your wife, so no issue on the sex. I would give the muffler shop heck on this, and lots of demands. Guess I would walk in quietly & give them time to sort it out, but I would be leaving very loudly by the time the issue was 'done'. They do not deserve to be in business when they take advantage of people. While your wife gave the ok so they are not obligated to do anything about it, they are obviously taking advantage of people & I would not be afraid to discuss that with others. I don't think my wife will ever quite understand what 'feathering a clutch' means. Oh well, she tries real hard, & the look on her face when a field is done is priceless. :) --->Paul
