Saturday the 26th....
All those interested in helping an old guy with his Tranny please come over.
I'll be pullin it about 10am and the re-build will start. Mike |
What old guy? Does anyone here know an "old guy" who needs help with a tranny?
|
I wish i had the time saturday to lend a hand but i have to work at this real job. It sucks but somebody has to pay the bills. Good luck on the rebuild.
Oh yea, are you really that old??? |
Good luck on the rebuild Mike.. Dave
|
Mikie, You gonna pull it if it rains?
|
RAIN????????????????
Had not thought about that. It's in the garage but the door needs to be opened and I have to move the Hedgehog ouside. The Hedgehog is still waiting for a new throttle body so it would have to be pushed. Damn rain... This is the desert damnit. Yes, I'll postpone if it rains. Mike |
Hey, Mike, I'll schedule myself to be there if it rains. LOL

Mike,
I should of asked at dinner tonight but forgot. Do you need ramps, jackstands that extend to 28" tall, clutch disc alignment tool etc...? Is the tranny tunnel riveted or did screws get used? I have Klieco's since you sent yours on vacation.How about a tranny jack, let me know |
You can borrow my jack. There is a trick to get under the car with it. Gordon did it once. Put the car on a brick and it works fine. I also have two or four, not sure, jacks if you want to borrow.
|
The heck with the rain... It's a go for Saturday.
Jeff, I'll call you later today. I could use the 28inch tall stands and the tranny jack. Mike |
Mike, how are you going to get the car jacked up to 28 inches? My rather large floor jack (7000lb)only raises to 20 inches. My 7000lb jack stands only raise to 22inches. You are welcome to them. I can bring them over Sat if you need them too.

Lots of blocks of wood on the jack pad.
Mike |
Send me an email with your address and the time for this shindig, I need to increase my Tourette's vocabulary...:mad::mad::mad:
And Bob-ski, how do you lift a jack that is so heavy? |
With all the peeps coming over to help you don't need a jack at all. Just everybody grab a corner and lift.
|
Mike: I suspect most want to see if I can really get under the car. :) :)
Bob: I want to jack this thing up tomorrow and finish the prelim work before Sat. AM. Steve: Will do. The more the better. That way I'll have more people making fun of me. :) Mike |
Jeff Classic, did I see you get into and drive off in a FORD Truck???? Whaaassss UUUPPP? I'm tellin Karl.
AZ Bob |
What's the address? I have some stuff that might make things easier or not..

Bob,
SSHHHHHHHHH, I don't want that to get out! Don't be telling others I am a crossdriver. LMAO..... It has been a rough week and the short story is my truck got borrowed so I got that one to get home in. borrowed not stolen so it's al good |
Well, in deference to the "old guy", I've decided to postpone the rain for a day. Saturday will be brisk and clear. All in all and ideal day for tranny work.. If you can convince your tranny that he/she needs to be worked on, I'm sure there will be a multitude of help available.
Do you need anything in the way of hard tools.. jack stands, floor jacks, etc? |
I have just about everything I need. Paul G. has some special tools for the re-build it's self.
The car goes on Jack stands tonight, and I'll start unbolting stuff. Mike |
