Default I am such an idiot!

Ok, so the other day I order my mgw shifter. I ran outside to check and see once again which tranny I had, I always thought I had the t-45, I check and I didn't see a k so I ordered the t-45. I get home from school this morning and start to install, and when I'm about to put the other shifter on, I notice that it doesn't fit in the tranny hole. I call them and tell them my prob and we check my vin again and it turns out that I have the 3650.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! I did all that work just to put it back together. I am so stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Has anyone else done something this stupid?

Not something along those technical lines but... I did something really really stupid once. Gave the keys of my Corvette to a friend...

Let's just say I'm getting the bumper repainted this spring [:@][:@]

That sucks man, I just felt so dumb when he said that b/c I was like how did I miss that! Now I have to wait another week for it to get here and probably another week after that to put it on!

Thats just the joy of turning your own wrenches, everyone has to learn somewhere.

Yea definitely could have been worse, but I feel your pain in anticipating something, and then having to wait even longer[&:]

The dumbest thing I did is relative to yours. I didnt take my handle off while removing my lower shift boot and tore the **** outta my lower shifter boot. Use my mistake as a key when installing yours. REMOVE YOUR STOCK HANDLE BEFORE YOU TAKE OUT YOUR STOCK SHIFTER

No big deal, it happens a LOT.

Be glad knowing your transmission will last longer now. [8D]
