I have an interesting little update to this, rather sad actually. I got in the mail today a notice saying that a 91 Explorer was recovered in perris, ca as a burnt hull that was a hazard to traffic. 
I talked to the buyer of it who had been trying to find a way to contact me. He told me the story that when he went to register it it would not pass smog...don't know why. Anyway, while the explorer sat awaiting repair, he totalled his other car, so he was forced to drive the explorer anyway. That's when the transmission went out and was replaced by Aamco. On his way home from Aamco, the truck caught fire and then burnt to the ground on the highway. I guess it was under both of our names at this time, and the DMV needed a bill of sale to fully transfer ownership. So i'm sending that out to him tomorrow and it should be taken care of. I feel terrible for the guy, he was a nice kid, and i'm kinda sad that the explorer is dead. I'd been wondering about it. BTW, Aamco is paying him back the entire value of the truck and the cost of the new transmission, which is good.

wow that sucks for the guy and that sucks for the old Black Goblin 
the transmission was rebuilt by black goblin himself, thats weird that it went out. but im not suprised with the 91-93 A4LD.
hmmmm i feel like i can relate to this.....
-i had a 91 explorer that caught fire
-when a car hasn't passed smog, the tittle kinda in nobody's name, thats the state of my mr2
-my old white explorer was sold and then totaled. and the same situation that he later needed a bill of sale
seems like AAMCO is legit
