Remember my electric problem last weekend? Finally got an electrician out this morning, it was arching, sparking, and tripping the breakers all morning so it became an emergency instead of the two week wait to fix.
Stop in for a cup of coffee

I got exposed to the shuttles when I lived out in the desert. We used to see them hauling the prototype around on the 747 tow truck once in a while. I think we were 60 miles from Edwards AFB? There is Federal controlled air space all over that neighborhood, Edwards, Ft Irwin, China Lake. We were in the approach pattern from Ft Irwin to Edwards. I worked on the launch complex at Vandenberg for 3 years.
Good day again! Step is fabbed and rough fitted. Snapped a pic from the video, forgot to take one.
my car may have defeated me.... double flare tool works great, no more leaks.. so i rigged up hoses real quick to put water in so i could let it run for a few minutes (no fan yet) i wanted to check for leaks/issues before i do an exhaust and steering, easier to work on...
Trans in neutral, fine.. reverse fine.. first fine... second it makes a SHHHHHHHHHHH sound almost like sandpaper.. if i rev it at all it sounds like marbles.. and i mean like 1500 not 4k.. trans is working and axles are turning.. really annoyed and let down.. gonna post on the b-body trans forums with a full list of what was done and see if someone has a idea after i get some food in me..
Open headers are too loud btw..

Hope it's simple like a band or kickdown adjustment
naw..simple doesn't rattle like marbles.. i'll have to pull it, i triple checked everything building it.. so i dunno
Flex plate?
****.. it will be a planetary.... i need to figure what turns on in which gear.. but if i put the wrong shell with gears it would explain the sanding noise then the marbles..
Checking in wife is at a lawyer's monthly dinner get together. She paid for a year last summer and this is the first meeting she's made. I'm on my own at least for a few hours so can't get in too much trouble. I had leftovers (KC Strips) and a Fargo John Tito's and G2 Grape Zero...life is good!!
Bollocks
Forecast saying I might get a "wintry mix" tonight.
Unfortunate that it's not describing a desert tray

Good Evening....I received a $100 gift card for Carlisle today as a retirement gift. I will never use it so does anyone want to make an offer? I will post this here in the coffee thread again in the morning. Just send a private message

No biggy... i don't have exhaust or anything in the way.. trans won't be too bad to pull.. I'm just annoyed that it didn't work perfect. Might do some upgrades while it's out.. B&M flexplate and bolt in sprag.. just dealing with the shift/park cable is a pain..
Pushbutton?
I have the cables nailed... easy peas Just takes a lot of fluid. I got tired of jacking around trying to release the shift cable, so I drop the pan to remove and/or install.
i did it last time with a long seal pick through the hole.. guy on youtube has a great video showing that, but i will prolly drop the pan before the trans to see what's up and get as much fluid out as possible..
What can a gift card to Carlisle be used on?
Why do you need that though? i adjusted mine with the pan off and checked it lined up on the rooster comb on each gear
I use it to follow the TSM procedure... then double check visually.
ahh.. i should read that

Solidarity Brother! I just got home from coaching my youth trap team and mixed one up. If it tastes like a Cotton ball swab from the doctors office, did you mix it to strong? I am asking for a friend!

I remember that pix! I think that was the catalyst for the now never ending barrage of three pedal suggestions! Hah!
