Not sure why that was a big deal. :lol:


Exactly and some number of boxes later I found the shift ball too so now I'm really stylin!

Yesterday ended up house chores but the gates installed and linkage adjusted to what seems good. the NBO2 sensors replaced...I nearly gave up on #4 but I got it and my arm are all prickly from header wrap.

I'm finishing up some edit to the fuel and spark tables to get axis points points that make more sense now that I know what the idle conditions are and how much vacuum its still pulling at cruise conditions..

Then I need to decide what to try with the wide band control or more likely work on that when its cooling after the first run.

Didn't get as much time as I expected but the first 20C start was near perfect then I discovered the car only went forward...so the linkage was not as adjusted as I thought. Fixed that and adjusted the start tables a bit and the next 30C start was also good so all the mapping changes I made seemed to be in the right directions.

Around the block with my younger son so he was thrilled. "We're goin so fast!" Nope 25mph, its just a lot of noises. Same run as the video so when we got back I asked if he liked the burnout :D

Now the bad news. Still struggling with 2nd, heard the bad sounding noise that I thought topping up the trans oil solved the other day and oil was coming out somewhere, it got onto the axles and flung onto the headers so no the best possible outcome.

That'll carry you through a lot of dark times, I would think.

Looks like not topping up the trans oil was an expensive mistake. Hopefully inside the trans doesn't look like the drop gears

:cry: That's harsh.

Do you have another? Do you have to get an entire transmission to get one?

its a set of 3, all trashed. One I had modified so that will need to be repeated too. Before I buy anything I need to take a look inside the the trans to be sure its limited to the drop gears.

I have a new head gasket plan too. I'm thinking copper flame ring with an oring around it to seal the water out of the cylinders, then alum sheet with sealant for the rest
