Just wanted to tell you all how great Barry (Grasshopper), his Dad, and Dr Evil, along with the others who helped yesterday. We managed to drop my 1.7 and transmission. We had about 10 of us show up to watch, chat etceteras. Grasshoppper disappeared under the car and an hour or so later emerged with dirt from elbow to fingertips but said, "It's ready to drop". The young man is amazing. A big thanks to you for your help and enthusiasm!
Thanks to my wife KAtherine who cooked and prepared a nice dinner, we then ate and went back the the engine work. Thanks to Dr Evil I now have a transmission that should last a long time. All that's left is for me to finish cleaning off the grease and grime from near the oil cooler and put the new seals in. Oh yeah, then put the engine back into the car. Again many thanks to you all for stopping by and helping out.

hey matt,
thanks for inviting us up. was good to meet some more folks from the club and watch barry make a mess out of himself. i wasn't a complete slacker in that i did have the cv tool! sorry i had to leave so early.... i messed up and promised the wife i'd be home! my daughter had a blast. i am going to be next on the drop list as my car was out for the last time. the trany is barfing out WAY too much fluid and was behaving poorly on the way home. weird spinning sound about 50% of the time when starting from a dead stop and acting like the clutch is sticking while driving. if i was cruising about 3k rpm, hit the gas, it would rev up to 5k like the clutch was in then drop back down and i could feel the trany engage. weird. time for the new evil trany to go in ....... |
