Okteenerfest was a blast on the drives. Seems like I could run out of first gear before I could blink. The car ran great for the whole thing.

The bad news is I lost all the gears in the trans. The shifter moves the shaft on the transmission, but nothing is happening inside. I got a whole box full of neutrals.

So tomorrow I fly to Charlotte, and Sat morning I get driven over to Boone, NC to pick up the tow vehicle. It got a 4k transmission replacement. Then I go back to Charlotte to pick up the trailer, then drive home. Long 2 days of driving.

Next weekend I will be looking into the trans failure. I am fairly sure it is the shift mechanism rather than the syncros or gears.

Igor certainly sounded scary big when you fired it up a Okteenerfest!

Fingers crossed that it’s a relatively simple repair.

What were you doing when you broke it ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Shifting from third to fourth on an entrance ramp. I wasn't even accelerating hard.

I think it's in the shift mechanism inside the trans, but I won't know until I open it up.

when shifted can you still feel the shift gates or does the shifter move in any direction at anytime ?

The input shaft on the trans moves with the cables, but it feels like nothing is hooked to it internally.

I agree completely - but it was Super Traps or the car didn't go on the trip. There were a lot of, I'll say... 'expedient liberties' taken to get the car to Okteenerfest. A genuine exhaust system is in the future game plan. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Was the clutch working when it failed or were you matching revs to gears (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Did that make sense (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

They were separate events from my understanding. Clutch failed, he was going to make the trip back home driving without a clutch (matching revs), then the transmission failed at a later point.

Clay's on the plane right now to Charlotte NC, maybe he'll clarify if he checks World later...

That sounds right. He was driving without a clutch for the first couple of hours of the return trip.

I am home from picking up the SUV. I did a 2 day banzi run from Denver, NC to Hurst, TX. Left Saturday noon. Got home Sunday 1:30. Long drive, no problems.

I will continue to update this as I fix the issues, both major and minor, with my car.


Stay tuned.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

So last night I got out and pulled the pedal box out of my car to see what happened to the clutch.

Sheared a roll pin. But the attachment point for the clutch master cylinder rod was fatigued and would have broken anyway.

So I am reworking the pedal box to fix both these issues. I almost have it, but I need a few more hours to get it right. I will post pictures when I get it done.

As for the trans, it was suggested that the nut holding the cable connections onto the shift rod possibly backed off. That would cause the move but no gears. I checked the nut. It is tight. So Saturday I am going to pull the trans mount and remove the back of the transmission so I can see what happened.

Hopefully nothing major... fingers crossed......

Clay
