Soon I'll actually be able to keep up with all of you on road trips.
(No, it's not the "Ford versus Chevy" thing- It's the "4 speeds are just fine, until you want to cruise at 75+ mph" thing)
AND, the ONE thing on my old beater Vette that always leaked (the trans) will leak no more.
I'm installing me a brand new shiny clean TKX600 5 speed.
Mcleoud says I have to put 500-750 miles of "stop and go city driving" on the clutch before I romp on it... Which means I'm in for a HOT summer of around town driving, with no A/C.
The Muncie M20 4spd was the last "original numbers matching" drivetrain component in my car (the diff was replaced in the 80's, and the engine was replaced in the 90's, and again in 2005)
Now the original transmission is out... My car is "zero-numbers matching" now. (Which is GREAT- saves me a ton on my Hagerty policy
)
It also means I can drive it without fear of reprisal from the NCRS Corvette-cops.
