Picked up my OD transmission today. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

According to the customer transmission was working fine before they started parting out their car after a “car electrical fire” under the bonnet. As you can see some of the wiring as well as the speed-o cable was burned or had the insulation melted. From what I can tell everything is there and except for the wiring it looks to be relatively unharmed by the by the ordeal.

I’m going drop it off and have it looked over & serviced by a local shop next week. But other than that I’m pretty happy.

I don't know Bret. I think there's something catastrophically wrong with that OD. Just call it woman's intuition. In fact, I'm certain of it. I tell you what. I'll give you $50 for it, right now, Bret, come haul it away and save you a lot of disappointment.

THIS from th' sweet, endearing jaybird we've all come to know and love... a helping hand for a friend unknowingly in distress.

...and my grand-daddy was the King of England, BTW.

Gee thanks for thinkin' about me JB. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif But I think I'll give it a try just the same - wouldn't want you to have another "Crabby" Paddy episode when it dosn't work for you?

I think Janel is being very generous to help you out like that Bret...and also consider all the "might as well" s that she is preventing for you..the new clutch, flywheel, etc...it is people like Jerry and Janel that make this Forum the greatest! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grouphug.gif

BTW, if you'd like to get rid of that roll bar, I will pay the cross-country shipping for it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
