Ask for help when things don't go right... earlier than later.

My 64 Falcon was making a loud screech. Narrowed it to the manual tranny. Took it out, completely dissassembled twice - could not find the problem.

Early 20s, just moved, new job, didn't know a soul. No money, wife & kids to feed. R&R done on a driveway mid winter in Manning Alberta - 40 below in the dark with a flashlight. If you don't believe the temp, google that place.

Finally found an old guy at an auto wrecker who recognised the sound. Tailshaft bushing. Easy four bolt removal. He had a used one for $8.00.

Lessons learned that hard are not forgotten.
