TKO Gremlin!
The TKO gremlin strikes again!:(
I was getting my car ready for it's BAR run tomorrow morning, and .................It's stuck in 2nd gear!:o So, I'll have to re-schedule the BAR appointment and take it into the shop instead!:CRY: jdog P.S. Boy, I pitty my inmates tomorrow!:eek: |
You can't get the shift, so they get the shaft? :D
Hope you get her fixed soon. -Dean |
It's sad to say that one of the weak links in our cars is a brand new $1900 trans that's rated for 500/600 lb-ft of torque.
I put a new TKO500 in my car. The car hasn't been on the road yet, but I'm already dreading the possibilities of gremlins coming my way. |

jdog,
Wow, that sucks! I guess I have been fortunate. So far, at 2800 miles, nothing wrong with mine. Accept ordering it with the .64 instead of the .82. Sometimes I had a little trouble getting it into reverse. I read if you shift to 2nd just before you shift to reverse it should do better. Have been doing that lately and it is a world of improvement. Now if I could just get all the other bugs out oif my car! BTW...are you going to any BACC events this year? Not Knotts, WSCB, Tour Di Vin, etc? Later.... Mike |
Maybe?
Mike, I may make it to some events this year, if I can ever get this thing registered & on the road! :o

jdog,
Ya next to the grueling wait for the car that CA Regist. is a *****. I stressed from May of 05 to January 06 when I was fortuante enough to get my SB100. Whew! What a relief. I hope you luck out also. Mike |
still locked?
J,
Did you get it unstuck? Maybe try rocking the car fore/aft by pushing and pulling on the rollbar just a little to see if it will help; ease it back and forth barely. Sorry to hear the gremlin got you. AND, are you coming to the Bash in Tom's booth or anything? - if so, you'll need to let him know; we're full on hotel rooms and spots...DC |
Tues or Wed
I tried everything I could think of, to get it un-stuck, no luck.
Tom will get it into the shop on Tues or Wed to have a look. Once he gets it un-stuck, it's on to BAR. I offered my car to Tom for the bash if he would like. If I go to ths bash, I'll stay in my RV.:) jdog |
